Genesis 48: Jacob Blesses Joseph's Sons
Joseph travels to Goshen when he hears that Jacob is near death. He takes his two sons who are blessed by Jacob and who are actually adopted as Jacob’s sons, thereby inheriting a blessing equal on par with Jacobs other sons. However, when he was blessing the sons of Joseph, he had seemingly gotten them turned around so that the youngest would have the greater blessing. Though Joseph objected, Jacob maintained that he was correct in the order. And as history would bear out, the youngest son was the greater in number and achievements.
Darwin popularized the idea of survival of the fittest and it has become the mantra of the materialistic world. But God in His wisdom has shown the fitness of the weakest to give room for His grace. I am always suspect of the richest, most powerful, most eloquent, most beautiful, finest, wisest, most visible, &c. God invariably shows His hand in what we in the world consider too meek and mild.
