The pasuk previously stated (41:25) that Yosef told Pharaoh “what G-d is doing.” Rav Moshe Midner zt”l (Sefer Kisvei RaMam) explains that he informed Pharaoh that everything that occurs in the world is Hashem’s doing. After he told him about this, Pharaoh said that “since G-d let you know this”, since you know about this secret that Hashem guides and controls every aspect of the world, there is no one as understanding and wise as you.”
