Deep within the confines of a prison, hope flickers where despair should reign. Joseph, once favored and free, now lives in the shadows of injustice—yet even there, the light of God’s presence does not dim. The same Lord who prospered him in Potiphar’s house now breathes purpose into his confinement. Behind the heavy doors of Pharaoh’s dungeon, Joseph’s faith finds a new audience: two troubled men burdened by dreams they cannot understand. The cupbearer and the baker share their mysteries, and Joseph listens—not as one seeking favor, but as one serving a faithful God who still speaks in the silence.

His words carry both comfort and warning, for truth cannot be softened when it comes from the Lord. One man hears of restoration, the other of loss. Yet even as Joseph delivers these divine messages, his own longing remains—“Remember me when it is well with you,” he pleads. But when freedom opens for another, the door remains closed for him. Forgotten once more, Joseph waits in the tension between promise and fulfillment. Still, unseen hands are at work. Every unremembered moment, every delay, is part of heaven’s preparation for the purpose ahead.

For those who have prayed and waited, this story whispers a powerful truth: God’s timing is not bound by our understanding. Faith grows strongest in the places where answers seem most distant. Like Joseph, we are called to serve faithfully where we are, trusting that divine remembrance never fails. The prison that feels like an ending may, in truth, be the beginning of a greater calling. Even when others forget, God remembers—and His purposes never sleep.
