God uses the pits and prisons to prepare and position us for our purpose. In Genesis 40 and 41, Joseph was thrown in prison as an innocent man. Yet, the Lord was with him and caused him to prosper. While in prison, God enabled Joseph to rightly interpret the dreams of the cupbearer and baker of Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt. Joseph appealed to the cupbearer to remember him when he was released and to help him to get out of prison. However, the cupbearer forgot about Joseph leaving him in prison for another two years.
