After two years, the chief butler finally remembered Joseph because Pharaoh had two dreams that needed interpretation, and no one in Egypt knew the meaning. Joseph told Pharaoh the interpretation belonged to God and gave him the meaning of his dreams. Because he had two dreams that meant the same thing, it confirms that God established it and would happen. He told him there would be seven years of plenty and seven years of famine, and he needed to put someone in charge to manage what was about to happen. That’s when Pharaoh put Joseph in charge of everything; no one would be over him except Pharaoh himself. Pharaoh clothed him and fine apparel and gave him a wife. He was thirty years old at that time; God had turned his life completely around and made him forget the struggles he had getting to that point. Joseph is a prime example of how God can change your situation from struggling and despair to gladness if you keep your faith and trust in him. It was thirteen years from his capture to becoming ruler over all of Egypt! Be patient in your afflictions; God will train and release you to bring out your full potential. God has a plan for you, just like he had for Joseph. Wait for it but stay faithful in the process.

Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. Genesis 41:40
