The Last Shall Be First

Just finished reading Genesis and it made me wonder about the way God works.


Like how God chose Judah as the one from whom the Messiah will eventually come from thoughJudah wasn't the firstborn and while he had some good qualities but he wasn't perfect either. How Ephraim the younger was blessed ahead of Manesseh, Jacob over Esau and Issac over Ishmael.

I don't think there is a clear explanation for why things are this way except that God may be demonstrating a principle that He chooses the weak to demonstrate His power and His glory. It is indeed humbling.
