Bibledoorajar looks at the Miracle of Joseph's Dream Interpretations

“You can't throw too much style into a miracle.”
― Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Pharoah's wise men had disappointed, but the best was yet to come. When Joseph was remembered by the cupbearer he was remembered as the man who had both served him and told him that when Pharoah counted on his servants he would once again be counted among them. Now, he served Pharoah again and had his complete trust. So, the cupbearer had every reason to believe that his newly replaced prominence would carry weight with Pharoah and so he told him of Joseph's abilities. This is how much trust Joseph had in God--that he said all the cupbearer would have to do was mention his name and his ability to serve. As the above quote says, you can't throw too much style into a miracle and we are about to see Joseph give a miraculous interpretation of Pharoah's dreams. So anxious was Pharoah that he had Joseph RUSHED to his palace from the dungeon. Joseph shaved and changed his clothes and came into Pharoah ready to serve him. By shaving, Joseph would look more like an Egyptian thus he honored the culture in which God had placed him to serve.

I remember being in Muslim countries on missions and forsaking my American custom of dress for their custom in order to not be offensive to the local people. Paul, the apostle told of how
important such an effort could be:

"Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.  To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law.  To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law.  To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.  I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
                                          1 Corinthians 9: 19-23


And all such efforts lead to sharing in the best yet to come. It is a relatively long passage but if you want to remember the best yet to come read Revelations 21 through 22:9. Have a great week serving that you might share in the wonderful blessings of the gospel.
