The sovereignty of God just spins our human minds.. but Joseph in bible times, understood and trusted fully in God's wisdom and promise even before the verse Romans 8:28 was written by Paul. Before his fearful brothers, who sought to destroy and kill him by selling him off to merchants, Joseph dismissed their fears of him taking revenge on them, saying:
'Do not be afraid, for am I in God's place? As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive'.
Genesis 50:19-20
May we strive to be like Joseph, trusting in God's sovereignty in life's ups and downs, especially the downs.
