Henry Law, the Puritan writer, said, “Great doors swing on small
hinges.” So it was with this question that Joseph addressed to the
butler and the baker in the Egyptian prison. It transformed his life
and led him from the prison to the palace. Seemingly insignifi cant
circumstances may be the small hinge which God wants to use to
open a great door in our lives. May we be sensitive and cooperate
with the plans He has for us. God can use Spirit prompted questions
to get us involved in His work. Have we asked one recently?

There would I be, Thou Who hast labored and sorrowed for me;
Whithersoever Thou goest, There will I follow Thee. —Fanny Crosby.
