“Blessed is he who enlarges
the domain of Gad!
He lies down like a lion
and tears off an arm or a head.
21He chose the best land for himself,
because a ruler’s portion was reserved for him there.
He came with the leaders of the people;
he administered the LORD’s justice
and His ordinances for Israel.”
“The lion-like character of the tribe of Gad was shown by the fact that Gad furnished many fine troops for David (1 Chronicles 12:14). This is in fulfillment of Jacob’s words in Genesis 49:19: he shall triumph at last.” (Guzik)
1 Chronicles 12: 14These Gadites were army commanders, the least of whom was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand.
Genesis 49: 19Gad will be attacked by raiders, but he will attack their heels.
Lion like character, let that sink in! When the Lord called on the tribe of Gad they didn’t shrink from their duties as army commanders supporting king David or protecting the Israelites.
But as Christian’s for King Jesus do we experience the same lion like character for HIS kingdom?
Dear Holy Spirit, I lift up every Christian and ask that YOU give us the lion like character of the Gadites to fight for YOUR kingdom. Give us courage to speak of Jesus’s gift of grace and salvation to everyone, to every family member and to every creature about the Son of God and the forgiveness of sins. In Jesus name I pray 🙏 Amen.
Blessings
