Devotional – January 11, 2011

VERSE:
Genesis 47:10–An Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from his presence.

TRUTH:
At first glance, this seems backwards. Usually it’s the ruler that blesses the people that come into their presence. In this case, regardless of money, power, things, etc, it is Jacob who blesses Pharaoh. Jacob knew the living God and if we know Him, we are to be a blessing to anyone and everyone we come in contact with.

RESPONSE:
Lord, help me to bless those around me with You.
