Reflect
In ancient times, dreams were thought to have specific meanings and could predict the future if correctly interpreted. How did Joseph interpret the dreams of the wine steward and the chief baker? What did Joseph ask the wine steward to do for him?
Pray
Holy God, you bestow various gifts on your people through talents and skills. Teach me to discern the gifts you have given me, use my talents and skills to help others, and give glory to you. Amen.
