Entonces respondió José al Faraón: El sueño del Faraón es uno mismo: Dios ha mostrado al Faraón lo que él hace.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 41:25

Verse 25. God hath showed Pharaoh what he is about to do.] Joseph thus shows the Egyptian king that though the ordinary cause of plenty or want is the river Nile, yet its inundations are under the direction of God: the dreams are sent by him, not only to signify beforehand the plenty and want, but to show also that all these circumstances, however fortuitous they may appear to man, are under the direction of an overruling Providence.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 9-32 - God's time for the enlargement of his people is the fittest time. I the chief butler had got Joseph to be released from prison, it is probable he would have gone back to the land of the Hebrews. Then he had neither been so blessed himself, nor such a blessing to his family as afterwards he proved. Joseph, when introduced to Pharaoh, give honour to God. Pharaoh had dreamed that he stood upon the bank of the river Nile, and saw the kine, both the fat ones, and the lean ones come out of the river. Egypt has no rain, but the plenty of the yea depends upon the overflowing of the river Nile. See how many way Providence has of dispensing its gifts; yet our dependence is still the same upon the First Cause, who makes every creature what it is to us be it rain or river. See to what changes the comforts of this life ar subject. We cannot be sure that to-morrow shall be as this day, or nex year as this. We must learn how to want, as well as how to abound. Mar the goodness of God in sending the seven years of plenty before thos of famine, that provision might be made. The produce of the earth is sometimes more, and sometimes less; yet, take one with another, he tha gathers much, has nothing over; and he that gathers little, has n lack, Ex 16:18. And see the perishing nature of our worldly enjoyments The great harvests of the years of plenty were quite lost, an swallowed up in the years of famine; and that which seemed very much yet did but just serve to keep the people alive. There is bread whic lasts to eternal life, which it is worth while to labour for. They tha make the things of this world their good things, will find littl pleasure in remembering that they have received them.
