Psalm 105:20
“The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 105Meaning
A sudden reversal follows a long period of confinement, but the psalm presents it as part of Joseph's particular story.
Joseph suffers, is tested, and is raised to preserve life
Famine leads into Joseph's enslavement, testing, release, and appointment to authority.
Read carefully
Joseph's release is a specific event, not a universal timetable.
Reflection
Leave room for change without denying present reality.
