Genesis 41:15-16 ” Pharaoh said to Joseph, ‘I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.’ ‘I cannot do it,’ Joseph replied to Pharaoh, ‘but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.’ “

Joseph was quick to set Pharaoh straight of exactly where his explanation of Pharaoh’s dream would come from. Charles Spurgeon once said, “Blessed is that man who has done with chance, who never speaks of luck, but believes that from the least to the greatest, all things are ordained of the Lord.” II Corinthians 3:5 also makes this clear, “Our competence comes from God.” Therefore, it’s only by God’s sovereign control alone that Joseph could give a reliable interpretation of Pharaoh’s dream…for Joseph knew his ability & power to do so came solely from God and not himself.
