Hope Has Come: Victory against Enemies

Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; your father's sons shall bow down before you (Genesis 49:8).

Prayer
May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the needy, and crush the oppressor! (Psalm 72:4)

Christ in Me, Hope of Glory

From the prey, my son, you have gone up! (Genesis 49:9)

For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with great tenderness I will take you back. In an outburst of wrath, for a moment I hid my face from you; But with enduring love I take pity on you. So I have sworn not to be angry with you, or to rebuke you.

Though the mountains leave their place and the hills be shaken, My love shall never leave you nor my covenant of peace be shaken, says the LORD, who has mercy on you (Isaiah 54:7-10).

Their iniquities are not hidden from him, and all their sins are before the Lord. A man's almsgiving is like a signet with the Lord and he will keep a person's kindness like the apple of his eye. Afterward he will arise and requite them, and he will bring their recompense on their heads. Yet to those who repent he grants a return, and he encourages those whose endurance is failing (Sirach 17: 20 - 24).
