This teaching examines Genesis 48:8–22, where Jacob, near death, blesses Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. Despite Joseph's attempt to direct the blessing according to traditional birth order, Jacob, led by divine wisdom, intentionally places his right hand on the younger Ephraim, signaling God's sovereign choice. The discussion highlights the theme of God's election overriding human customs, as seen throughout Scripture. Jacob's reference to God as his "Shepherd" and "Redeemer" reinforces God's faithful guidance throughout his life. The teaching draws parallels between Jacob's experience and the broader biblical theme of God choosing the unlikely for His purposes. The message concludes with an encouragement to trust God's leading rather than human expectations.
