In Genesis 41:1-57, Pharaoh has two dreams that predict both good years and bad years are coming. He can’t interpret these dreams, but soon discovers a young Hebrew man who can, Joseph. Joseph successfully interprets Pharaoh’s dreams and is promoted to the second highest office in all of Egypt. God brought Joseph through years of trial so that he could lead Egypt through years of hardship. God gives us good and bad years to help others and bless us.
*Please note Joseph was 39 years old, not 40, when his brothers arrived in Egypt. See Genesis 45:6. The table in the presentation and sermon notes are both revised.
