Day 029 Genesis 48-50
Welcome to Day 029. Jacob is dying, and before he goes, he blesses Joseph’s sons. By crossing his hands so that the younger receives the greater blessing, just as he himself was blessed.
Jacob’s life ends not in bitterness over what he lost, but in blessing over what God gave. He lived long enough to see God’s faithfulness fulfilled.
Joseph outlives his father and ensures his family is cared for. But more than that, he makes them promise to carry his bones back to Canaan when God leads them there. Joseph dies in faith, not having received all the promises, but believing them.
The Heartbeat: A life lived in faith leaves a legacy. What we believe about God shapes what we pass on to the next generation. Our faithfulness is a testimony that will outlive us.
Heart-Check: What legacy are you building? What will your faith teach the generation after you?
