In Genesis chapters 40 & 41 we find that Joseph had been thrown in the dungeon of the prison. He was not there alone, there was two of the kings servants there. Both of these men dreamed a dream on the same night. They begin to tell Joseph about the dream and he was able to give them the interpretaion. Now one was going to die and the other one would live. Joseph's only request for his service was that he would remember him when he came before the king. The chief butler never even thought of Joseph for two full years. One night the king had a dream. He called for the magicians, and the wise men, however none was able to tell him the interpretation. Joseph finally came back to the chief butler's mind. The king had him brought out of the dungeon to tell him the interpretation of this dream. Joseph knew that his freedom depended on his answer. He told the king in chapter 41:16 that it was not in him but that God had his answer of peace.
So many times we are faced with situations that are beyond us to control. Just as Joseph stood before his capitor we stand before things that would hold us in bondage. We know our limitations and just as Joseph confessed to the king "it is NOT in me but God SHALL give pharoah an answer of peace." We may not always have the answer but God does. He has the answer to every situation in our life. God will send the answer of peace that we need. No matter how long it seems we have been in the dungeon of our situations God has someone prepared (prayer warriors) from who's lips our name will fall. I am sure that from time to time Joseph felt faint in heart thinking within himself that neither God nor man remembered him but God knew exactly where he was. God knows where we are walking, he knows the situations that we face everyday. God has our answer prepared if we will just hold out for it.
