Genesis 40
Devotional:
And they replied, “We both had dreams last night, but no one can tell us what they mean.” (Genesis 40:8 NLT)
Joseph took the initiative and opened his mouth before he even heard the dreams. He did not worry about whether or not God would give him the interpretation; he acted out of the knowledge that God knew what the dreams meant and He could reveal them to Joseph if He so chose to do so. Joseph trusted in God’s power, knowing He is faithful. Have you ever held back from being used by God out of fear that He wouldn’t respond the way you wanted? Have you ever wanted to pray with someone but fear stopped you? How can we live out our faith and take the initiative more often?

Pray it:
Father, give me the faith to overcome the fears that I may have in following you completely. Show me today a way to serve you and give me the strength to follow through and exalt your name. Amen.
