Sing Into Your Storm

hiding secret sin . They both had no idea that sin was about to be exposed… Always remember what the Word of God says:

“You have sinned against the L ORD ; and be sure … your sin will find you out.” (Numbers 32:23)

But through the incredibly redemptive heart of God and His ordained plan , Judah ends up going back to the homeland of his fathers, where he was very instrumental in the family affairs of Jacob, his Patriarch father, that included playing a crucial role in leading their family down to Egypt. Getting close to death, Jacob calls for his sons to his bedside, where he lays hands on each one of them and prophesies. When he laid hands on Judah, Jacob brought forth the most incredible prophecy that clearly revealed the destiny that God would bring to pass through the lineage of Judah! Through Judah, great praise would come forth, mighty battles would be won, and through Judah’s very loins would come kings… a succession of kings! and eventually … The King of all Kings – the Lord Jesus Christ! All of this arising back from a heartbroken woman who turned her pain into praise , and won the heart and favor of her God! Through Rachel came forth Benjamin (and eventually King Saul), but through Leah came Judah and eventually King David … and then , as we have said… Jesus the Messiah! Though Rachel came the worldly love story of Jacob. Through Leah came the heavenly love story of God!

“ The L ORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and He saves such as have a contrite spirit.” (Psalms 34:18)
