Many people were praying for Mark Hall, the lead singer of Christian worship band Casting Crowns, as he underwent surgery to have a cancerous tumor removed from his kidney. After the surgery his wife, Melanie, shared the good news. “The pathology report is in and the news is just as we expected and also an answer to the prayers we have all prayed. The findings of the report confirm that the cancer had not spread to the kidney or anywhere else. Glory Hallelujah!”

Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.”

Genesis 40:8

Melanie credited her husband’s healing as a miracle from the Lord. “God was at work in this before we had any idea,” she said. “We are thankful for His mercy and grace. We are thankful that He chose to answer our requests this way.”

When the subject of interpreting dreams came up in Genesis 40, Joseph focused everyone’s attention on God. Rather than using the situation to make himself look good, Joseph turned it into a powerful witness for the Lord. Be faithful to publicly give God all the credit when He answers your prayers in response to your bold service for Him. Pray also that Americans will recognize the Lord’s miraculous work in their own lives.
