WORD DIARY: WEDNESDAY JULY 12, 2023

 

#The father's blessings!..



Gen 48:12-13

Then Joseph removed them from Israel’s knees and bowed down with his face to the ground. And Joseph took both of them, Ephraim on his right toward Israel’s left hand and Manasseh on his left toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them close to him.


#Physical positioning!


Gen 48:14

But Israel reached out his right hand and put it on Ephraim’s head, though he was the younger, and crossing his arms, he put his left hand on Manasseh’s head, even though Manasseh was the firstborn.


#Spiritual positioning!

Gen 48:15-16

Then he blessed Joseph and said,

“May the God before whom my fathers

Abraham and Isaac walked faithfully,

the God who has been my shepherd

all my life to this day,

the Angel who has delivered me from all harm

—may he bless these boys.

May they be called by my name

and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac,

and may they increase greatly

on the earth.”


#The father's blessings!


Gen 48:17-18

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. Joseph said to him, “No, my father, this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.”


Let us pray: Father God, let your will be done in the name of Jesus


#Life questions and meditation:


1. Do you value physical or spiritual positioning?


2. Do you value the father's blessings?
