Joseph brilliant and accurate interpretation of Pharaoh's dream so impressed Pharaoh that the latter selected and promoted this Hebrew slave to run the entire kingdom on the Pharaoh's name, because he so trusted him. Joseph, with God's favor upon him, would do very well in the world as a blessing from God because Joseph was such a fine and upright young man. His remarkable promotion and drastic improvement in his lot does indicate that all things are possible with God.
Read this quote from The American Family Bible: "This advice pleased Pharaoh and all his officials. 'Could we find another like him,' Pharaoh asked his officials, ' a man so endowed with the spirit of God?' So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has made all this known to you, no one can be as wise, and discerning as you are. You shall be in charge of my palace and all my people shall dart at your command. Only in respect to the throne shall I outrank you."
Let me share the same quote from the Holy Bible (KJV): "And the thing was good in the eyes of the Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in who the spirit of God is? And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God has showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art. Thou shall be over my house, and according unto thy word, my people shall be ruled: only in the throne shall I be greater than thou."
May you go forth in life endowed with the spirit of God, a bit like the great Joseph, so that fine things will come your way.
