Genesis 40

I didn't set out to write devotions,but that's what these have become for some people. I didn't st out to have a stroke, either, but that's what happens when you're not paying attention.

One thing I've never liked about "devos" is the way they always seem to hold up Bible characters as people to be imitated. This may come  as a shock to you, but you're not the Joseph of the Bible. You won't be accused by Potiphar's  wife, or run a prison from the inside, or save Egypt and the rest of the world  by saving grain for seven years.

Not that there's nothing admirable about Joseph. In this chapter, he trusts God, but still works hard. There's a lot we can learn from Joseph.

But I'm not holding him up as an example or anything.
