How do we see God's grace in Joseph's suffering?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph's suffering reveals God's grace as it ultimately leads to his exaltation and the saving of many lives.

Joseph's journey through suffering, betrayal, and imprisonment is a profound testament to God's grace at work in his life. While humanly speaking, one might view Joseph as a victim of circumstances, Scripture reveals that God was sovereignly directing each event. His time in prison was not in vain; it was preparation for his eventual promotion to second-in-command in Egypt, where he could save his family and many others from famine. This illustrates the Reformed doctrine of grace, showing that even our trials are under God's sovereign hand, serving His ultimate purpose for good, as Paul writes in Romans 8:28.
