Dear Jesus - My first blog post ever and it is only fitting it is on Praise! I praise You from Whom all blessings truly flow...
1 Chronicles 5:2 -..yet Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him
came a ruler, although the birthright was Joseph’s— (NKJV)
Judah prevailed over his brothers in relation to the leadership of the family. Reuben was biologically the firstborn and certain rights were implied him due to his place as firstborn. However, his sin with Bilhah the concubine resulted in the forfeiture of those rights. This specific verse details that the leadership of the family devolved onto Judah which is interesting in that you may recall Judah was actually the 4th born son of Jacob. But is there something for me in this verse? Does this verse show me Jesus?
