38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God ?”
39Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you.
40 You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.”
Joseph in Charge of Egypt
41 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.” 42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.
Joseph - deserted by brothers - thrown away - exalted by Pharaoh
Isaiah 55 : 13
Instead of the thornbush, a cypress will grow, and instead of the brier, a myrtle will spring up; they will make a name for the LORD, an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”
Psalm 90 : 15
Make us glad for as many days as You have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
Genesis 45 : 5, 7
5 And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.
7 But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
