It was God’s purpose all along for Joseph to be ruler of Egypt. It was predicted in the dreams back in Gen. 37! Twice we are told that Egyptians loathed shepherds. Joseph was a shepherd, a foreigner, a man convicted of try to rape a high official’s wife. There is no way he would ever become ruler of all Egypt. Yet God, through providence, made Joseph ruler of all Egypt!
Every event in Joseph’s life is a link in the chain of God’s providence pulling him to where the all Sovereign God wanted Joseph to be! Believer, God is doing the same thing in your life, every moment of every day! We know it from God’s Word! And we know that God causes all things to work together for good, to those who love God, and to those who are called according to His purposes.
