God With Us in Silence

Last week we were reminded of God’s gracious presence in the life of Joseph. Through all of Joseph's success and suffering, we have seen how God has remained steadfast, being present with him even as he was thrown into an Egyptian prison. In this week’s passage, Genesis 40, we will see God’s continued presence in Joseph's life, even in a chapter where God may seem silent. As Joseph serves the cupbearer and baker in prison, we will see him ask to be remembered, only for the cupbearer to forget him. This passage reminds us that God is always present with His people, even in silence and seasons of waiting; God never forgets His own.
