In our final two weeks in Genesis we will look at 2 sons of Jacob: Joseph and Judah. Next week we'll look at God's plans for the world, while this week we see how God works in the world to bring about his purposes. In Genesis 37-50 God is largely not mentioned, but even in this more secular story we see God's hands constantly at work behind the scenes to bring about his purposes.
