1. Joseph had two dreams and told them to his brothers, believing that God was speaking to him through them. Later, when interpreting the dreams of Pharaoh’s officials, he received discernment from God to explain them. Now, the time had come to interpret Pharaoh’s own dream. Faced with such a great responsibility, Joseph could be secure, for from his youth he had walked with God, and the Lord had spoken to him (Genesis 41:15-16).
2. Joseph advised Pharaoh to choose a discerning and wise man to place over all the land of Egypt. This man would be the general administrator. Similarly, God continues to raise up stewards in His house. The apostle Paul received this charge: he was entrusted with the stewardship of the unsearchable riches of Christ (Genesis 41:33, 37-39; Ephesians 3:2, 8).
3. In the church, the chief steward, responsible for the administration of God’s house, has as his central charge the Word. This Word does not proceed from himself, but from the Lord, the owner of the house. In Numbers 12, we see that God raised up several prophets, but Moses was established as the main one responsible in His house (Numbers 12:6-8; Gal 1:11-12).
4. “Everything, in fact, originates in the word, with our hearing of faith and with our believing in the word. Abraham had the hearing of faith and believed in Him who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist (Romans 4:17-22). Our God is the God of the impossible! He is the One who raises the dead” (Galatians 3:5) (Daily Food, book 8, week 1, Friday, p. 15).
