Genesis 49:1-28
Such a mixture of destines is pronounced here. That is, until we arrive at Joseph. Then the language is reminiscent of the beginning of Genesis, especially verse 25. The power and beauty and purpose of creation (community), is brought to bear in and through God’s chosen bearer of dream and promise.
Can we see in this a form of a later community, called the church? Such a mixture of stories and characters and glorious and inglorious faithful witness and silly turfiism. And yet God chooses and causes his power of creation and recreation to be worked through us.
Prayer:
Refine this vessel, Lord. Amen.
