Genesis 38:26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
Good Morning Saints!!!
What a pleasant day! Today we will meditate upon an important topic Can you be righteous thou your sins be like scarlet?
We will learn from the life of Judah. Judah means praise, he was born to Leah, and was given the promise that the Saviour will come from his seed. Such a privilege matter, but still Judah displayed qualities which were questionable.
1. He was wicked
2. He was greedy.
3. He would revolt against his father wish by marrying a Canaanite woman.
4. He was selfish.
5. He was ready to sell his own brother rather than save him.
6. He was jealous of his brother.
7. He was deceiver, who deceived his own father.
Still Lord promised that a saviour will come through his lineage.
Genesis 49:8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
Genesis 49:9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
Genesis 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
What does this say?
Lord is merciful, slow to anger and willing to forgive even the worst mistake or sins if we turn to him.
Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Today when we look back on all the sins we have done or all the blunders you might have committed. Don't worry, Lord is aware of your shortcomings and willing to forgive all the sins.
Saints, turn yourself to the Lord. He is mighty, merciful, he gave his only begotten son so that we don't perish but have eternal life.
God bless
