Blessing for Jan.3rd

Genesis 49:22-26

"Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine near a spring, whose branches climb over a wall. With bitterness archers attacked him; they shot at him with hostility. But his bow remained steady, his strong arms stayed limber, because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel, because of your father's God, who helps you, because of the Almighty, who blesses you with blessings of the heavens above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breast and womb. Your father's blessings are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains, than the bounty of the age-old hills. Let all these rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince among his brothers. “


Joseph here is called the “prince among the brothers.”
He was spiritually rich compared to his brothers who were at one time spiritually and morally bankrupt. Jealousy and bitter envy were their undesirable qualities. But God was faithful. Though He let Joseph suffer for a while, He saw to it that his brothers came and fell at his feet, not because Joseph desired it, but because God felt that, that would be the right thing.
If we are faithful, God will see to it that those who hurt us unwontedly are brought to book, not because we desire it, but because He is a righteous God.
