S – The scepter will not depart from Judah or the staff from between his feet until he whose right it is comes^, and the obedience of the peoples belongs to him. 

Genesis 49:10 CSB

O – Commentary
This verse anticipates the kingship in Judah (cp. 17:6, 16; 35:11). Although the birthright blessing went to Joseph, Judah would provide Israel’s rulers (see 1 Chr 5:1–2). A long line of kings from Judah would retain the scepter, the symbol of rule; the last king would be the one to whom it belongs, the promised Messiah

A – Amazing that God had a plan so many years before the birth of Jesus.  Throughout the Old Testament books, it all points to the arrival of the messiah.  Looking at the OT as a whole, that is a long time of waiting, suffering, patience and enduring tough situations waiting for an arrival of a promised one.  Fast forward to now – we are in the same place.  The difference is that God gave us the Holy Spirit to walk daily with and we all enjoy his presence without having to go through a person or high priest.  We can walk confidently with the Lord today!

R – Heavenly Father, you are One God in three persons – God, Son and Holy Spirit.  Thank you for the revelation and relationship with each.  Empower us to walk confidently in each aspect of our relationship with you.   You are worthy of all praise, honor and glory today.
