We welcome you to the Daily Inspirations Program by Abraham Sekhar. Today we read Genesis chapters 39 and 40 from the Old Testament and Matthew 14:13-21 from the New Testament. Genesis chapters 39 and 40 are accounts of Joseph’s advancement and his interpretation of dreams. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, an Egyptian, bought Joseph from the Ishmaelites. The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. Joseph’s master saw that the Lord was with Joseph and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper. Joseph found grace in his master’s sight. Joseph served him, and his master made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put under Joseph’s authority. Joseph’s master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, but he did not yield to it. Joseph stood firm as a God-fearing person. But Joseph was blamed and was put into prison. The butler and the baker of the king of Egypt was put into prison, the place where Joseph was bound. And they had a dream, both of them, each man’s dream in one night and each man’s dream with its own interpretation. They wanted someone to interpret their dreams. Joseph interpreted their dreams by the wisdom and revelation of God. Their dreams were fulfilled in three days just the way Joseph had interpreted them. With their dreams, God was making a way for Joseph to get into the king’s palace. It was such a marvelous turning point! In Matthew 14:13-21, Jesus saw the great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and healed their sick. Jesus provided food for the multitude. The Lord made a way for Joseph when he was in prison and Lord Jesus also provided food for about five thousand men, besides women and children. God makes provision for us, or He, himself becomes provision for us. He is our Jehovah Jireh. Believe that the Lord will make provision for you, whatever be the situation. Father God, we thank You and praise You. We believe in Your Word. Please pave the way for us and make provision for us. In Jesus’ name, Amen and Amen.
