Do you ever wonder if God is really in charge of what's happening? Genesis 37 starts the journey of Joseph as he's sold into slavery. I bet he didn't think God was in control then! He was probably wondering why God had abandoned him.
Ultimately, the story of Joseph is about God working his will through the everyday events of life. There are no miracles here. God does not suspend his natural laws to make things happen. The story is about the hidden but sure way of God. God's hidden hand arranges everything without show or explanation or violating the nature of things. God is involved in all events and directs all things to their appointed end.
So join me in reading Genesis 37 and be encouraged!
