The fulness of God's plan now starts to reveal itself. There are two points we should note:
- There is no way Joseph could have, or was expected to, work out how God was going to fulfil things.
- Joseph was in a position to see the fulfilment because he acted righteously in the various situations he was in.
Living by faith often involves doing things God's way even when we cannot see how it is all going to work.
Note that the cupbearer had forgotten to tell Pharoah, but God acted anyway. Pharaoh had two dreams that troubled him, then the cupbearer finally remembered that Joseph could interpret dreams. So Joseph was called to court, and Joseph made it clear that it was God who enabled him to interpret dreams.
Joseph interpreted the dreams about seven years of plenty and then seven of famine. He also suggested that Pharaoh should put someone in charge of distribution, and Joseph ended up being the man in charge.
