Genesis 37: 36: “And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, and captain of the guard.”
This story shows evidence of the Lord’s hand; when Joseph went down to Egypt, the Lord prepared a place for him to stay until the Lord’s timing was right. Even though Joseph was the man that the Lord later used to save his family from death by starvation, he had some very important lessons to learn in humility. He was betrayed by his brothers and was innocent in this episode but he still needed some training. It is often hard for us to understand how the Lord is working in our lives as we move forward but when we look back at the end of every period of our lives we can see that the Lord was at work. This is part of living by faith. At the end of this experience Joseph was able to say “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.” (Genesis 50: 20)
