Holy Spirit

Allowing that everything that is was created by God. That as it pertains to human beings' instincts and "feelings', responses it is called human nature I suggest that human nature is what governs what is called God's providence. Human nature is such that if one sees certain characteristics such as honesty, reliability, truthfulness, morality etc in another individual one will treat that second individual in a certain way such as trusting, loving, etc that individual. We see the principle in prisons where there are those called trustees. These are criminals who have exhibited some trustworthy characteristics and are therefore trusted with responsibilities not otherwise permitted.

In the negative sense if we see characteristics we do not like such as selfishness, boasting, bragging, immorality, dishonesty, etc we likewise will treat that person in a negative way.

Without interfering in "free will," without resorting to miracles human nature put Joseph in Egypt and in that way God put Joseph in Egypt. Joseph was annoying to his older brothers. When they had had enough they wanted to kill him. But one brother who was less hostile argued against killing him they decided on the only other way to get the brat out of their lives and that was to sell him into slavery, a common punishment of the day. For the next few years Joseph exhibited certain characteristics that found favor in the eyes of his captors and they treated him in positive ways although that did not include freedom from slavery. Until he became second in the Egyptian government he was a slave. In that way human nature allowed Joseph to help his family. In that way he could say though his brothers intended it for evil God, through human nature, worked it for good.
