Waiting With Hope in God's Providence | Dr. Stephen Conley

Text:  Genesis 40 God's Providence at Work in Difficult Circumstances (Gen. 40:1-8) In God's providence, Joseph encounters two prisoners in difficult circumstances who have dreams they don't understand. In God's providence, Joseph offers to help the prisoners, listen to their dreams, and point them to God's wisdom. God's Providence at Work in Determining Destinies (Gen. 40:9-19) In God's providence, the prisoners share dreams of their future with Joseph. In God's providence, Joseph is able to interpret the dreams of the prisoners. In God's providence, Joseph pleads with hope for the cupbearer to plead his case of innocence before Pharaoh. God's Providence at Work in Demonstrated Results (Gen. 40:20-23) In God's providence, the prisoners' dreams of the future take place just as Joseph interpreted them. In God's providence, Joseph is forgotten by man, but not forsaken by God. Main Idea: Because God rules over every circumstance, we can trust Him with hope while we wait for His providence to unfold.
