Your Word for Today “and Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days (Gen. 49:1). The Holy Spirit, in Hebrews 11:21, points to Jacob’s action in this Chapter as the great faith action of his life. Feeble and dying, and having nothing except the staff on which he leaned and worshipped, he yet bestowed vast and unseen possessions on his grandsons. First he recited the Gift of the Land of Canaan to him by God (Gen. 49:3-4). Then, making Joseph his firstborn (Gen. 49:22), he adopts Joseph’s two sons as his own (“Even as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine”), and setting the younger above the elder, endowed them with the firstborn’s double portion. It was a beautiful picture of a faith that was Divine, intelligent, and triumphant. The double portion given to Joseph as the firstborn was a conquered portion (Gen. 49:22). The possession given by God to the Divine Firstborn among many brethren, the Lord Jesus Christ, is also a conquered possession, i.e., it was done at the Cross, and it redeemed His People out of the land of the enemy — the Amorite, one might say. Everything Jacob said came to pass, and everything our Heavenly Jacob has promised us will also come to pass. The Cross has made it all possible! (Rom. 6:1-14)” —Donnie Swaggart (taken from the “Word for Every Day”)
