Today, we explore Genesis 48, focusing on the lessons from Jacob’s life. Jacob’s journey illustrates how blessings come from God’s grace, not our efforts.

When we face difficulties in life, how do we respond? Jesus calls us to be servant leaders, recognizing that all we have in life are blessings from God, and we should use them to bless others around us. We should put the needs of others ahead of our own. In Genesis 27, we see Joseph using his position of leadership to bless and provide not only for his family, but also for the entire nation of Egypt.

During different seasons of life, we encounter all kinds of circumstances, both positive and negative, but through all of them God is in control. In Genesis 46, we see Jacob and his family moving to Egypt. There they reunited with Joseph, and we see the fulfillment of God's promises to Jacob.

In Genesis 45, we finally see Joseph reveal himself to his brothers. Instead of using his position and power to exact revenge on them, he instead forgives them and recognizes how God placed him in this position in order to preserve their lives.

What happens to our faith when we face adversity? When life is going our way, it’s easy to say we’re putting our hope and faith in God. In Genesis 44, we see Joseph’s brothers facing great adversity that shows the change in their character since they sold Joseph into slavery two decades before.

How do we respond when presented with the truths of God? During different seasons of life our response can take different forms and change over time. This is what we see in the heart of Jacob as he responds to the news from his sons regarding Simeon and Benjamin.
