Beginnings: A Study In Genesisनमूना
What does it say?
Two servants of Pharaoh were thrown into prison and placed under Joseph’s care. After Joseph interpreted their dreams, one servant was released but soon forgot him.
What does it mean?
Even though Joseph was wrongfully imprisoned, he used his God-given abilities to serve his fellow-prisoners. He could have wallowed in self-pity and spent his energy questioning God. Instead, he chose to serve God in every way he could – exactly where he was – because it was the place God allowed him to be. Joseph’s actions were from a heart that truly trusted God for his life. How was Joseph repaid for his kindness to the cupbearer? He “did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.” Joseph would have to wait for God’s reward in God’s time.
How should I respond?
At some point, we’ve all done the right thing, only to have it overlooked. It’s easy to feel unappreciated when no one seems to notice the time and energy you’ve given at home, at work or in your community. When those emotions arise, ask yourself, “Why did I do it in the first place?” Were you trying to impress someone or promote your own interests? Or, was your motivation purely to use your talents and gifts to serve the Lord? Others may forget the good things you’ve done, but God hasn’t. Stay committed to serving Him in every way you can, right where you are. His is the only pat on the back that really counts.

As its name implies, Genesis is a book of beginnings. The beginning of the world, the beginning of the line of Abraham, and the beginning of God's covenantal relationship with his people are all recorded in Genesis. Although filled with the sin, rebellion, and the chronic unfaithfulness of His people, God consistently demonstrates his covenantal faithfulness to bring about salvation and redemption for all who have faith in Him.
