Joseph. Providence. God.

This Sunday I conclude my sermon series on Joseph by examining providence. RC Sproul sums up God's providence in Joseph's life very well: 

“We are creatures with a will of our own. We make things happen. But God’s sovereign providence stands over and above our actions. He works out his will through the actions of human wills, without violating the freedom of those human wills. The clearest example of this that we find in the Scriptures is in the case of Joseph and his brothers. Though Joseph’s brothers incurred true guilt through their treachery against him, the providence of God was working through their sin.” RC Sproul
