“And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
I cannot do it, Joseph replied to Pharaoh, but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires. The response is the same theological positioning as Genesis 40:8 — not my skill but God's gift. The application: the consistent acknowledgment that the gift belongs to God, regardless of how high the audience, is the mark of the person who has not let elevation change their theology.
