How do we know the sovereignty of God is true in Joseph's story?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph's story illustrates God's sovereignty as He orchestrated every event for the ultimate purpose of saving His people.

The narrative of Joseph highlights God’s sovereign control over human history and individual lives. Despite the evil intentions of Joseph's brothers who sold him into slavery, God used their actions to position Joseph as the governor of Egypt, ultimately ensuring the survival of Jacob's family during famine. This demonstrates that God's plans cannot be thwarted by human sinfulness; rather, He sovereignly utilizes it to fulfill His covenantal purposes. The phrase 'But God was with him' underscores this truth, signifying that Joseph’s experiences, no matter how dire, were part of God’s divine plan for salvation.
