SHILOH
Genesis
49:8-12
Devotional:- “The
scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet,
Until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people” (V.10) NKJV
Man
by nature always desires to have a place they can turn to in times of need.
Sometimes men experience some situations that look stronger than them. At such
time we desire to have a place of refuge. Not just a shady place to hide from
the beating of the sun but for security and salvation.
God
in His understanding of the human challenges has often planned to give such
place for men. When the Israelites were in the wilderness, God told them to
separate some cities as cities of refuge when they arrived in Canaan. And He
promised that His tabernacle would be in their midst. He told them they should
come near this tabernacle for sacrifices and the appointed ceremonies. And
anytime they have any trouble, if they will face the city of His presence there
shall be solution and victory. This place was referred to as Shiloh.
This
was prophesied through the mouth of Jacob when He was blessing his children. He
pronounces on Judah that the rod of authority and rulership shall not depart
from His tribe till Shiloh will come. At Canaan a place was appointed as Shiloh
and there, people waited to receive their miracle. An example is the case of
Hannah the mother of Samuel (1 Samuel 1). But this prophecy was referring to
Jesus the Messiah. He is our Shiloh. In Him, we have refuge and strength. When
we are faced with greater challenges, we can run to Him.
Today
in Him you can have a solution to your situation and receive your miracle. Turn
to Him today and be saved. Go for your miracle your Shiloh has come.
PRAYER:
LORD, I TURN TO YOU TODAY LET YOUR HAND DELIVER MY MIRACLE.
“A
MAN WHO DOESN’T KNOW WHERE TO TURN TO IN THE DAY OF TROUBLES WILL ALWAYS HAVE
FRUSTRATED”
