And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.How manifold are God's works! Earth has been richly supplied with life in abundance. From the great and wide sea, where thing that creep and swim are innumerable (Psalm 104:24-25), to the open firmament, where the tiny insect to the king of birds spread their wings and soar above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proves his handiwork (Psalm 19:1).

Genesis 1:9 - Setting Boundaries
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.God assigned a boundary upon the face of the waters, low enough to let dry land appear. The oceans were locked into vast reservoirs so the waters would not overstep God's command. The sand along the seashore mark the boundary line that the sea cannot cross, an everlasting barrier (Job 26:10; Psalm 33:7; Proverbs 8:29; Jeremiah 5:22). During the flood, God broke the reservoirs open (Genesis 7:11); but made an everlasting covenant to never do this again Genesis 9:11).

Genesis 41:15 - The Secret of Dreams
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.Joseph can understand a dream to interpret it because God shares his secrets with those that have respect for Him and are accounted righteous (Proverbs 3:32, Psalm 25:14).

Genesis 40:23 - The Sin of Forgetting
Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.This was a case of "out of sight, out of mind" in the face of good times. The butler had good intentions on helping Joseph but he forgot him as though he were dead (Psalm 31:12). When times are good we have a bad habit of forgetting those that helped us succeed (Amos 6:6, Hosea 13:6). This sin of forgetfulness happens when we become overly preoccupied with our own affairs which overshadows the interest of others.

Genesis 39:3 - Taking the Righteous Path
And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.His master saw that the LORD was with him because God's blessings crown the head of the righteous for all to see ( Proverbs 10:6). The LORD made all that he did to prosper because the righteous succeed in everything they do (Psalm 1:3). Like Joseph, take the righteous path, shining your light for all to see in everything you do.
