Recognizing Who Blessed Me - Genesis 40

S - Genesis 40:8 “Interpreting dreams is God’s business,” Joseph replied. “Go ahead and tell me your dreams.”
O - Joseph was still in prison and was in charge of the Pharoah's cub-bearer and baker, who were also in prison. One day they both had a dream and they were upset because no one could interpret the dream for them. When Joseph asked them why they were upset, they told him and the verse above is his response. Joseph not only realized, but clearly communicated this to others, that he was not the one that had the ability but it was God.
A - When people recognize my abilities or work that I have done for them, do I take credit or do I give God the credit. It is only because of the blessings that he has given me that I am able to do the things that I do. I need to continually remind and focus on this so that I don't have an ego issue and boast to those around me. God is truly the only reason why I am at where I am today; he is the source of every blessing.
P - God, I thank and praise you for all that you have done and for all that you have blessed me and my family with. Help me to always remember and exclaim this to others so that they know truly where my strength comes from. I pray today for an extra coat of protection. I pray that your will be done with this little girl and her mother. I surrender my preconceived thoughts of how my life would look and I give you my life to do with it as you please. You have told us to take care of the orphans and widows and that the way we care after them would be as we are caring for you so we step out to care for your precious gift of this girl. I pray that you would work out all of the details and provide us with the resources to take care of this girl, if she is ours to raise, and also enough resources to take care of our existing family. Lord, I need your help and you blessings today more than ever. I pray for this mother and for this little girl. Bless both of them regardless of the ruling in court today and give both of them the comfort and peace that they can only get from you and your perfect love.
