Lesson Description

What? Was Joseph really in prison because he was accused of making an advance at his master’s wife? God surely didn’t care about him! Well, appearances can deceive, and in this case, they do. God did care! In fact, God allowed Joseph to go to prison for a very important reason.

While he was in prison, Joseph had the opportunity to be used of God to interpret the dreams of two of his fellow inmates. We discussed this in our last lesson. Here, however, we must not miss the fact that it was because Joseph was in prison and faithful to God that he later had the opportunity to help the king of Egypt—Pharaoh—with one of his problems. Pharaoh was so impressed that He made Joseph second-in-command in all of Egypt.

This is the story of Joseph’s opportunities to help Pharaoh, Egypt, and the world. Significantly, Joseph honored God in everything he did—and God honored Joseph for his faithfulness. This Joseph Helped the King Bible lesson for older preschoolers can remind children that God will help them do His work.
