Even though it may not feel like it, our sovereign God is always there and is always working. What is truly amazing is when He allows us to see His providential hand working on multiple levels at one time. We get such a glimpse in our passage today as Joseph, the pre-nation of Israel, and all the world is being provided for by God!
