Joseph rise to power, God spoke to the king through dreams
God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do. Genesis 41:29, Indeed seven years of great plenty will come through out the land. But after that seven years of famine will arise, and all of the plenty will be forgotten. v 33, Now therefore, let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt. v 35, And let him gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under Pharaoh's authority. then that food shall be as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine, that the land may not perish during the famine. [God plan is at work]
The advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and his servants. Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find such a man as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God? [Joseph gave Pharaoh good advice.Fair warning, and good Counsel. So Pharaoh put upon Joseph the marks of honor.] v 46, And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh the king. And Pharaoh gave him a wife. And Joseph went out from before Pharaoh, through out all the land of Egypt. And in the seven plenteous years the earth brougth forth abundantly.
Genesis 41:48, And he gather up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in cities: the food of the field: and corn as sand of the sea, And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, with Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. unto Joseph were born two sons, first born Manasseh: second, Ephraim: Then the seven years of plenty ended. And the seven years of famine began, as Joseph has said, but in the land of Egypt there was bread. [There was a Severe famine in the land , But under Joseph's guidance, there was enough food stored.God is more than enough.
