LEGITIMACY BY ANCESTRY PART 19: JUDAH CONTINUED
Genesis 38:26 Judah recognized them and said, "She is more righteous than I, since I wouldn't give her to my son Shelah." And he did not sleep with her again.
The background of this excerpt is a tale of judgement, fear of sustaining a lineage, deceit and remorse.
Judah responds to His fear in his nature of 'protector' by withholding his son from his daughter in law. He fails to honour a promise he had made.
The consequence of Judah's fear is a desperate daughter in law whose life has been placed in a suspended state (waiting for a husband she will never be given, yet living in the custody of her father in law).
Today your insecurity may be playing the overprotective card on you, maybe even leading you to withhold what you need to release.
I implore you to remorsefully come to terms with the error of your ways. Allow God to redeem you today.
