Last week we covered a few verses from Genesis 49. And I wrote that it is difficult to expound all the details of this amazing prophecy in one devotional, so I will undoubtedly spend a few weeks with this chapter. History has shown that Jacob's words came true. Certainly there is a lesson here of personal responsibility and accountability - for some of the tribes lost their blessings because of the sins of their founders.
Sin never pays.
There is a way that seems right to a man but in the end leads to death. But there are also some other aspects to this chapter that give us some very important information regarding Jesus of Nazareth. I find as I study these passages of Scripture that my soul through prayer seeks more and more to cooperate with God as He reveals His plans and purposes to me through the Bible. A lot is said of Judah in these two verses. They certainly were successful in war.
