SCRIPTURE:
(Please share the verse(s) which speak to you)
“The blessing of your father have surpassed the blessings of my ancestors up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hill; May they be on the head of Joseph and on the crown of the one distinguished among his brothers” (Genesis 50:26 NAS)
OBSERVATION:
This verse is found near the end of the Book of Genesis and the story of Jacob ( Israel). It also close to the end of Jacob’s life. The passage is descriptions of the sons of Jacob. Joseph’s brothers thought he (Joseph) was favored by the father and jealous. Joseph was afforded great privilege as a young man (over his older brothers). But Joseph gets high praise.
APPLICATION:
The story of Joseph brings up several thoughts. Through the story of Joseph we learn perseverance in faith and the provision of the Lord to the faithful. The story of Joseph also reminds us of how God uses the least to do the most.
I wonder how many times I have sought counsel and company with those I thought powerful and missed guidance and companionship with true wisdom in those society deems the least.
PRAYER:
Lord forgive me when I have chose to evaluate others based on societal standards rather than yours.
YES:
I will see counsel and guidance in those society sees as “least”.
