How did Joseph demonstrate God's sovereignty in difficult circumstances?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph exemplified God's sovereignty by interpreting his hardships as part of God's divine plan for saving many.

Throughout his trials, Joseph exhibited a profound understanding of God's sovereignty. Despite being sold into slavery and wrongly imprisoned, he remained faithful and trusted that God was working through his circumstances for a greater purpose. In Genesis 50:20, Joseph tells his brothers that 'you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring about that many people should be kept alive.' This illustrates that even in suffering and hardship, God's sovereign hand is at work, orchestrating events to fulfill His divine will. For Christians, acknowledging God's sovereignty in our lives reassures us that He is in control, works all things for good, and ultimately leads us to His intended outcome of salvation.
