In the book of 1 Chronicles, chapter 5, we are told starting in verse 1 about Reuben.
Those who are firstborn are given a special place among the family. And the tale of Reuben was no exception. His story is told way back in the book of Genesis.
He, however, was striped of his rights as firstborn when he was sexually deviant and his father gave the firstborn rights to his brother Joseph.
Much like the story of Jabez in chapter 4, Reuben was born into a prestigious role and dishonorably took advantage of that position. He paid an enormous price as well as his ancestors, all because of a few moments of pleasure.
Pray to God that He shows you what is valuable in your life, so that the evils of sin won't cause a long life of pain and loneliness.
