God's Providence to the Rescue | Dr. Stephen Conley

Text:  Genesis 41 Providential Preparation (Gen. 41:1-13) In God's providence, Joseph continues to stay in prison for two more years.  In God's providence, Pharaoh has two troubling dreams that cause him great distress. God remains at work to prepare and position Joseph for His purpose. Providential Interpretation (Gen. 41:14-36) In God's providence, Joseph is summoned to appear before Pharaoh and interpret his troubling dreams. In God's providence, Joseph predicts a coming famine and produces a plan to save people from death. God is at work to provide Joseph with the right interpretation and rescue plan for His purpose. Providential Promotion (Gen. 41:37-52) In God's providence, Joseph is promoted from a slave to second in command in all of Egypt. In God's providence, God blesses Joseph and causes him to be fruitful in the midst of his affliction. God is at work to bring His promises to pass and is faithful to bring us through affliction.  Providential Salvation (Gen. 41:53-57) In God's providence, Joseph was used by God to save people from dying in the famine. In God's providence, Jesus was sent by God to save people from dying in their sins. Main Idea: In His providence, God will enable us to remain faithful to Him as He sovereignly prepares and positions us to accomplish His purpose for our lives.
