To Know the Future

Gen 41-50 What a gift God gave Joseph, enabling him to know the future through interpreting dreams. I don't know how many times I've wished I could know what's going to happen next in my life, if only to plan for it a bit. The past couple years especially have been full of unknowns for us.
But although God did give Joseph the ability to interpret the baker's, cupbearer's, and the Pharaoh's dreams, He didn't tell him he'd be sold as a slave by his brothers, or put in prison when he was just trying to do what was right. God didn't even tell Joseph when he was in prison, that it was only a matter of time before he got out and became the Pharaoh's right-hand man.
God rarely gives us more than enough light to see our next step or so, and meanwhile we, like Joseph, are simply to live the way He wants us to, purely, with a forgiving heart, trusting Him.
