1. Two men and two dreams (1-17)

Joseph was in the king's prison, which was under Potiphar's jurisdiction. He was a faithful steward in prison, too. And God was with him, so he was put in charge of the prison. Two prisoners who were very close to the king were entrusted to his care. One was the king's cupbearer and the other, the king's baker. Joseph paid close attention to them; one morning, he noticed that something was bothering them. He found that each man had had a disturbing dream.

2. A faithful interpreter (18-23)

God was speaking to these men through their dreams, but they could not understand what he was saying. They needed a 'Bible teacher.' Joseph was God's servant. He listened to their dreams and uncompromisingly interpreted each dream. Even though the baker's dream was bad news, Joseph was honest; he did not spare the details.

Application: Lord, help me to have a shepherd heart for others, and to teach your word without compromising its truth.
One Word: Be a faithful Bible teacher
