In the Bible, which character's story is a prime example of divine provision and leadership, guiding a nation through seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine?

Correct Answer

B) Joseph

Joseph, featured prominently in the book of Genesis, is a key biblical figure whose life story encapsulates divine provision and leadership. After interpreting Pharaoh's dreams as predictions of seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine, Joseph is appointed as governor over Egypt. He strategically manages the country's resources, collecting surplus grain during the years of abundance to prepare for the years of famine. This narrative highlights how God's guidance and provision were instrumental through Joseph's leadership, ensuring not only Egypt's survival but also demonstrating a broader provision for surrounding nations, aligning with the themes of guidance and sustenance similar to those in Psalm 23.
