DAY 9
Genesis 45-50
Scripture: Gen 48 17 When
Joseph saw his father placing his right hand on Ephraim’s head he was
displeased; so he took hold of his father’s hand to move it from Ephraim’s head
to Manasseh’s head. 18 Joseph
said to him, “No, my father, this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on
his head.”
19 But his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know. He too
will become a people, and he too will become great. Nevertheless, his younger
brother will be greater than he, and his descendants will become a group of
nations.”Observation: Jacob gave the younger brother the greater blessing and when Joseph objected, Jacob refused to listen because that is what God told him to do.
Application: so often God works in unexpected ways and people. He doesn’t look at appearance, tradition, position etc, and sometimes even chooses the less obvious person (according to us ;)) He can choose anyone to carry out His plans, yes even you!!!
Prayer: Father thank you for showing us that you can choose anyone to do your work. We sometimes think we don’t have what it takes or that you made a mistake by choosing us, but you are God you never make mistakes! Help us to have the confidence in ourselves to do what you want us to do. Amen
