Genesis 40:1-23
"Joseph Interprets Two Prisoners' Dreams"
So, Joseph interprets the dreams of two fellow inmates - the pharaoh's chief baker and chief cupbearer. Now, I actually don't want to spend time on the dreams and their meanings, but instead, I wish to look at the precluding conversation.
In Genesis 40:6-8, we see the setup for the issue at hand. Both officials realize that their dreams have meaning, but they're looking in the wrong place for an answer. Joseph, however, acknowledges God as the source of the dream & meaning and proceeds, through God, to give the meanings.
Okay, so how can I apply this? Have you ever had a question or goal which you were unsure of its answer or outcome? God is the source of the answer. God is omniscient - He knows everything. It's a piece of cake for God to interpret a dream and have it come true. Likewise, it's as easy as child's play for God to give you an answer or confirm a goal. God even works through revelations, dreams, and visions on occasion. God is limitless and is therefore the perfect source for answers. (and strength, but that's another time)
