Year of the Bible: Part Two of Twelve Sample

Jacob Continues Prophesying Over His Sons.

Notice here that not everything Jacob speaks over his sons is positive. Jacob was keenly aware of his childrens' gifts and spoke directly to their strengths and weaknesses, and prophetically spoke out about future events.

To Dan, Jacob says, "you shall be a serpent in the way, a viper by the path... I wait for your salvation, oh Lord." His words speak to the coming of Sampson, who God raises up to Judge the family of Dan for their overt disobedience and idolatry.

It might make you nervous to know that God knows everything about you. But take heart! Even while He knows every part of your life and thoughts, He still loves you and always has plans for your good.

Question: When was the last time you acknowledged that God knows everything about you and still loves you, right where you are?

Prayer Focus: God is actively involved in your daily life. Take a few minutes to talk to Him about the things in your life [internal or external] that concern you most.
