When Joseph came to them the next morning, he saw that they were dejected. So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why do you look so sad today?”
I am so impressed that Joseph even cared about the other prisoners. He was unjustly in prison, but because he was so trustworthy, he had been given responsibility over other prisoners. It is a rare person who would actually care about the prisoners in his care enough to notice they were sad. Do we care about the people around us? It is so easy to get wrapped up in our own problems and not even see those who are struggling. A co-worker of mine every day asks, "How are you doing today?" and she asks it in such a way that I really believe she cares about me and recognizes when I am having an off day.
Lord, thank you so much for those special people who really care about us and thank you for caring about us. Please help me to care about others and notice when they need some encouragement. Amen.
