When we think about Economics and its presence in our world, we can truly say that Economics is everywhere! As I am studying Economics, I am learning that there is so much economics in one of my favorite things: the Bible! As a Christian Ministry major, I enjoy anything there is about applying biblical principles to different subjects. I have been thinking of the story of Joseph in the Bible. Joseph was put through a lot of trials. In one particular part, Joseph was asked to interpret Pharaoh's dream. God gave him the interpretation that Pharaoh's dream meant that Egypt would have seven years of flourishment and then seven years of famine. This was important because then Egypt could prepare for it. Once the famine hit, Egypt had saved and stored up enough food to feed their people and some surrounding nations. By the grace of God, when the demand for food increased, Egypt was able to supply it! I think it is so cool that God can work miraculously to make sure His people’s needs are met.
