Genesis 40:14 — Community Reflections

GENESIS 40:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0

“But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:”

But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. The request to remember me is Joseph's first recorded act of self-advocacy in prison — not manipulation, not scheme, but the direct and legitimate request of a person who has been wrongfully imprisoned. The application: the request for help from someone who will be in a position to help is not faithless — it is the legitimate use of human connection. Joseph asks to be remembered.
