Genesis 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.
15 Then he blessed Joseph and said,
"May the God before whom my fathers
Abraham and Isaac walked,
the God who has been my shepherd
all my life to this day,
16 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
upon the earth."
I was reading about Manasseh and Ephraim this past week and will just share this simple thought. Specifically looking at verse 16, wouldn’t it be fantastic to be Jacob, and to be able to declare God’s promises as were promised to his FATHERS, Abraham and Isaac...! What a privilege to be chosen in that capacity. Yet, God has also chosen me and has great plans for me and my future. I am called to praise him in whatever capacity he has for me. In any and every situation, privileged position or not.
