- Welcome to the Superbook show.

- Hey everybody, todaywe're talking about,

wait, what are we talking about?

- Today we're talkingabout cows eating cows.

- Oh, right.

Okay, so today we'retalking about cows eating.

Wait, ew, that's disgusting.

(cow mooing)

(whoosh)

Wait, why would we betalking about cannibal cows?

- Not just cows.

We're also gonna be talkingabout grain eating grain.

- Well I guess that's not as disgusting

but still a little gross.

Wait a minute!

- Here it comes.

- I know what we're talking about.

Joseph and Pharaoh's dream.

- Behold, in my dream I stoodon the bank of the river.

(inspirational music)

(wind whooshing)

Seven cows came up out of theriver, fine looking and fat,

and they fed in the meadow.

(smacking)

Then behold, seven othercows came up after them,

poor, and very ugly, and gaunt.

Such ugliness as I have everseen in all the land of Egypt.

And the gaunt and ugly cowsate up the first seven,

the fat cows.

- And the next part of thedream was the same thing

but with grain.

- Yep, God told Josephwhat the dream meant.

Seven years of plenty followedby seven years of famine,

when no crops would grow.

- Pharaoh put Joseph in charge of Egypt,

and for seven years he savedup food for the famine.

- Good memory.

- So, why are we talking about this?

- There's a line in theBible during the story

that reminded me of me.

- I know which part.

Eating seven cows, 'causeI've seen you at picnics

with one hamburger in one hand

and one hamburger in the other,

and you're like (chewing).

- Uh, no.

When Joseph interprets the dream.

(inspirational music)

- The dreams of Pharaoh are one.

The seven good cows are seven years,

and the seven good heads are seven years,

and the seven thin and ugly cows

which came up after them are seven years,

and the seven empty headsblighted by the East wind

are seven years of famine.

God has shown Pharaohwhat he is about to do.

Indeed, seven years of great plenty

will come throughoutall the land of Egypt,

but after them, sevenyears of famine will arise,

and all the plenty will be forgotten.

- I hadn't really thoughtabout that line before

til I was looking at the story recently.

- About the years of famine?

- A famine so bad

that all of the years ofplenty will be forgotten.

That's too much like me.

- I need more to go on.

- There are times in my life

where things are going really great.

- Me too.

- And there are times wherethings aren't so great,

when things aren't going my way.

- Been there, felt that.

- When I go through the bad times,

I don't remember the good times at all.

It feels like things have always been bad,

and they're never going to change.

- Yeah, no fun, but what can we do?

We feel what we feel.

- We take Joseph's advice.

- By hoarding food!

My brother does that.

Did you know that he canmake his Christmas candy

last all the way til Easter?

- Close.

We hoard the memory of good times.

When things are going great,we don't take them for granted.

- By?

- By constantly giving thanks to God,

acknowledging how good he is,

and when the bad times do come--

- We don't forget the good times.

We remember God's goodness,

and we use those memories toknow that he still loves us

and that the good times areright around the corner.

Let all that I am praise the Lord.

May I never forget how good he is.

(gasps)

- Why am I discouraged?

Why is my heart so sad?

I will put my hope in God.

I will praise him again,my Savior and my God.

Now I am deeply discouraged,but I will remember you.

- Perfect.

- And that's not just Joseph's advice.

That's what he did.

- Wow, take over fellow host.

- Joseph had a really hard life.

His brothers sold him into slavery,

and then we went to prison,

but he never forgot that God was good.

- And if anyone had a goodargument to be depressed,

it was Joseph.

- He just always kept the memory

of God's goodness in his mind.

- All is forgiven.

You intended to harm me,

but God intended it all for good.

He brought me to this position

so I could save the lives of many people.

(yelling)

- So when you feel like thebad times are overwhelming--

- Remember the fat cows,

and don't let the skinnyones eat up all your joy.

- Wasn't gonna put it like that, but sure.

(laughs)

- His word is forever alive.

(whoosh)

- Don't let the skinnycows make you forget

to like and subscribe to this channel.

- Okay, that's a stretch.

- And be sure to downloadthe Superbook Bible app

to brush up on God's goodness.
