Forgotten...

How long has it been since you’ve been forgotten? We help someone get a promotion, and they skate on up without even saying thank you. We do something sacrificial for a friend or family member and they just expect it again, never seeming to notice our need. Sound familiar?
“Only remember me when things are going well with you again. Tell Pharaoh about me and get me out of this place. I’ve done nothing to deserve being put in this hole…But the head cupbearer never gave Joseph another thought, he forgot all about him.” ~Gen.40:14,15,23
Joseph was forgotten again. This time in prison. The king got angry at two of his servants and sent them to the jail where Joseph was. As they ate breakfast Joseph noticed they looked shaken. He found out they both had disturbing dreams the night before. Joseph explained that God was great interpreter, and as he listened to their dreams God gave Joseph the meaning. Within three days, exactly what Joseph predicted came true. As one of them was leaving the prison to be restored to the king Joseph uttered what we’ve all uttered, ‘please don’t forget me’. But in all the excitement of getting his position back with the king, the cupbearer did forget. For 2 years he forgot about it. But then Pharaoh had a disturbing dream, and in a day Joseph was needed in a higher place. I do not understand timing, but I have observed that God needs everyone in higher places sooner or later. He simply won’t allow one of His own to remain FORGOTTEN! ~verlon
