POINTING THE WAY
Genesis 46:28
"Then [Jacob] sent Judah before him to Joseph, to point out to him the way to Goshen. And they came to the land of Goshen."
Earlier, Judah was seen as a mediator or intercessor (Genesis 44:18 ff). Here, Jacob chose Judah for this special assignment to lead the troupe to Goshen. Jacob knew his sons strengths and weaknesses, as is evident in the words he spoke concerning each of his sons. Jacob saw leadership qualities that set Judah apart from his other sons. He was praised by his brothers, victorious over his enemies, a ruler with a scepter, and a lawgiver (Genesis 49:8-12). In short, he was a leader. It was befitting that Judah would have these abilities as the progenitor of the Lord Jesus. I am so glad that God has given us leaders who point the way.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: God gives leaders who point the way for our benefit.

Have a "thankful for leaders" day. Love you.
