How do we know Joseph was blessed by God?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph's blessings are evident through his experiences of providence, grace, and eventual exaltation as a ruler in Egypt.

Joseph was blessed by God in numerous ways throughout his life. Jacob's blessing declared that he would have the blessings of heaven and earth, highlighting God's favor (Genesis 49:25). Despite his initial hardships—being sold into slavery and falsely accused—Joseph recognized God's hand in his circumstances, interpreting Pharaoh's dreams and saving nations from famine (Genesis 41:16, 30-31). Additionally, he experienced personal blessings through his sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, symbolizing his fruitful life. Ultimately, Joseph's acknowledgment of God's sovereignty in his trials reinforces the understanding that his life's narrative showcases divine blessing and purpose.
