How do we know the story of Joseph is a lesson in God's mercy?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph's journey from favored son to prisoner and then to ruler shows God's mercy in restoring and elevating him.

The account of Joseph starkly illustrates God's mercy throughout his trials. Despite being favored and later betrayed by his brothers, Joseph's suffering in prison was part of God's plan to prepare him for a later role in preserving many lives during a famine. This journey emphasizes that God does not abandon His people in their times of trouble; rather, He works out His purposes for their good and His glory. Joseph's elevation to power, despite the hardships he faced, underscores the merciful hand of God at work, turning trials into triumphs.
