经节(5分钟)
你要全心信靠耶和华，不可倚靠自己的聪明。-箴言3:5
解释成功来自于主。神为那些爱祂的人安排一切，尽管我们当时可能无法理解。让大家一起多重复几次这个经节，可以用手势来强调一些关键词，比如心、倚靠和聪明。
故事(15分钟)
把孩子们聚集在你身边，为故事时间做准备。在介绍之后，读给孩子们听关于约瑟成为二把手的圣经故事。作为选择，也可以直接从圣经中读相应的故事。
介绍：
今天的故事中，我们看到约瑟的生活似乎从坏到更坏，但最后有一个意想不到的结局。故事结束时，我们将看到，所有事情都是为那些爱神的人所安排的。
(可选) 读 创世记39-41章
问题讨论：
约瑟被卖给一个埃及官员，官员的名字是什么？（波提乏）
波提乏为什么让约瑟管理他所拥有的一切？（波提乏注意到神使约瑟所作的一切都顺利）
波提乏的妻子说了关于约瑟的谎言，把他投进监狱。在监狱里，他遇见了国王的两个仆人，他们是谁？（法老的司酒长和司膳长）
约瑟在他们被囚禁期间如何帮助法老的司酒长和司膳长？（约瑟为他们解释了他们各自梦的含义）
后来，法老做了两个令他困扰的梦，但没有一个智者能解释这些梦的含义。司酒长知道有人可以解梦，于是告诉了法老。这个能解梦的人是谁？（约瑟）
法老的梦代表什么？（会有七个丰年，但接着会有七个荒年）
法老任命谁为整个埃及的二把手？（约瑟）
