For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end Jeremiah 29:11 (King James Bible)
Dear Joseph,
Even though you are favoured by your aged father, your half brothers despise you and your brilliant coat.
They are uncontrollably disgusted by your audacious dreams for your future...
Alas they seem to have succeeded in stalling those dreams as you find yourself unjustly thrown into a pit to die.... by the same people whose food you brought only a few minutes ago...
But...
Don't die yet.
Sold into slavery,
God is still good
For you find favour in your Master's eyes
But... lust in your Mistress'.
With falsified proof you're thrown into the dungeon in a strange land.
No mother, no father, no brother, no sister, no helper to plead your case.
Maybe you really should give up now and just die...
But... Dear Joseph,
Don't die yet.
God is still good,
You find favour yet again in the sight of the Chief Guard.
You find expressions for your spiritual gift too. Hallelujah!
But...
The Butler quickly forgets...
As days roll into weeks...months...years...
That hope is dashed...
But...
Don't die yet, Joe...
It may be tomorrow...
That God would give Pharaoh
A dream you alone can interpret; and a problem only you can solve.
It may be tomorrow...
That the Butler suddenly remembers...
It may be tomorrow...
That your travails would all make sense after all.
Today a Chief Prisoner... Tomorrow... A mighty Prince.
It's already written in the Books concerning you,
It will not lie.
You remember those dreams?
Just don't die yet, Joseph
Live one more day,
Again and again.
