Always Close By
Over 700 days had passed since Joseph's hopes had been lifted, making him think he would leave the Egyptian dungeon. So on this particular morning he could have had no idea of the luxury he would enjoy that very night. Whatever the prisoner's thoughts had been, the good God was just as close to him in his cell as He would so obviously be that evening before Pharoah.
If we are trusting God with our lives today, whether the situation is nice or not, He is no farther from us than He was from Joseph in his prison. The nature of our circumstances is irrelevant to the fact of His presence. We may not see Him or even sense Him, but He is right there with us. And if He wants to, everything around us can change in a blink.
Genesis 41:14/50:20 (Then Pharoah sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon . . . God meant it unto good)
