Providence of GOD in the Life of Joseph

There are two well-known men named Joseph in the Bible, and we can clearly see the providence of God in both of their lives. I will preach about the Joseph of the Old Testament, the son of Jacob, whose fascinating life dominates Genesis 37—50.
Providence means that God has not abandoned the world that He created, but rather works within that creation to manage all things according to the ‘immutable counsel of His own will'” (James Montgomery Boice).

1. JOSEPH SOLD INTO SLAVERY
   Acts 7:9; Psalm 105:17
2. JOSEPH PLACED IN POTIPHAR'S HOUSE
   Genesis 45:8; cf. 45:5, and
3. JOSEPH EXALTED IN EGYPT
   Romans 8:28; John 5:17. Petition the LORD in prayer, use patience for His promise, and practice sharing His provisions.
