Can we find such a one as this is
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
It is very possible that Joseph already had had dreams of what was going to happen. It is also possible that he prayed that God would let Pharaoh know. But here is the thing that these verses clearly tell us. Joseph was not simply a "dreamer" as his brothers called him, nor was he simply someone who interpreted dreams as the Butler said. He was someone who took these things to God and prayed about them and prayed to discover what he should do in response to what the Lord had revealed to him. Pharaoh doesn't promote him because he interpreted the dream, he promoted him because he had a plan on how to respond to the famine.
