Key Verses Genesis 49:10 / Jeremiah 2:13
Genesis 49 / Jeremiah 2
1. Depart from evil and honor His way
He who gratifies his sinful desires loses God’s grace. Cursed are those who follow the flesh and hate people. But those who have another intention – departing from evil and honoring His way, overcoming the enemy by trusting in the Lord will be blessed greatly.
2. Stray from the Lord and be disgraced
When God’s children forsook the Lord, backslid and loved other gods, ran wild as inspired by human desire, and abandoned the living water and dug broken cisterns, they would not succeed but be disgraced.
Psalm 49 / Revelation 13:2 Eternal life / Worldly splendor
The worldly riches, power and splendor are all meaningless. The result is destruction. When you are rich, pursue understanding quickly. Proclaim salvation widely and lead others to have the true blessing of eternal life.
