Genesis 48

Genesis 48 - Day 48 (link to reading plan)

Scripture: Genesis 48:17-20

Observation: Jacob blesses grandsons, but chooses to put the younger ahead of the older as Joseph objects.

Application: Isacc was the second born, so was Jacob and Joseph was the favored child even though he was the youngest of his siblings (before Benjamin was born). Here Ephraim is raised above Manasseh and it just didn't sit right with Joseph because that's not the way it's supposed to be.  It's almost as if God favors those who are overlooked by society.  Take heart and be glad for the Lord God notices you.

Prayer: Thank You Lord for noticing me and choosing me despite my insignificance.
