God’s sovereignty is exercised not only over the major events of nations and world affairs but in the details of individual lives. Now this truth provides no comfort for those who remain estranged from God but for those who have heard and received the offer of redemption in Christ, such truth provides a granite-like foundation. God is not only moving his plan forward through his chosen human agent Joseph, but Joseph also is a recipient of the very redemption that God is working out through him. He is directing Joseph’s steps and transforming his character.
