While Joseph was in prison he again made the best of things and was given responsibility. However, he probably thought God had forgotten about him and could see no way out, but God was working behind the scenes. It is vital for us to remember that God does not tell us everything, and does things that we have no inkling of. Often we imagine that all that we see is all that there is. This is not the case.
Here God was working in the palace to bring salvation and promotion to Jospeh. The baker and cupbearer offended the king and were thrown into prison. While there they both had dreams. Joseph offered to interpret their dreams for them. Actually it is quite amazing that Joseph still had faith in dreams, given the way his dream seemed to be working out!
The cupbearer received a favourable interpretation, but the baker a bad one. Events worked out just as Joseph said they would, but the cupbearer forgot about Jospeh. However, as we will see, God was just waiting for the best time.
