<p>Jesus didn't begin his ministry until age 30, the woman with the issue of blood waited 12 years for healing, and Joseph waited in prison for 2 years before the chief cupbearer remembered him. </p>
<p>There is an appointed time for everything. The cupbearer forgetting Joseph once he was released was part of God's plan, because it was not yet the appointed time. It wasn't until Pharaoh was in need of someone who could do only what Joseph could do (interpret dreams), that he was remembered by the cupbearer. It was now the appointed time.</p>
<p>At times it may feel like we are forgotten by God or as if He is sabotaging our plans, but that's only because His plans for us are much greater. If we are willing to wait for the appointed time, we will see the manifestation of His promises and receive our testimony. </p>
