What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty in Joseph's life?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible illustrates God's sovereignty in Joseph's life, demonstrating how He overrules evil for good, as seen in Genesis.

In the life of Joseph, we see a powerful example of God's sovereignty and how He orchestrates events for His purposes. Despite the evil intentions of Joseph's brothers, who sold him into slavery, and the unjust treatment he faced in Egypt, the narrative reveals that God was with him throughout. Genesis 50:20 highlights this as Joseph reflects, 'As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.' This theme reinforces the Reformed belief that everything happens according to God's divine counsel and that He uses even the most adverse circumstances to fulfill His greater plan.
