generations

i love what god reveals to me today.

generations.

"These are the generations of noah. noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation."

today, i see that god took pain to tell us about noah's forefathers. from adam, came enoch and noah - both men famous for righteousness before god. one was taken by god and the other instructed by god to build an ark.

why are noah's generations listed in the chapter?

i think this ties in with deut 4:9

“Only take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. Make them known to your children and your children's children—

your children and your children's children are our generations after us.

what does god instruct us to do? to take care and keep our soul diligently.

the same way we study and exercise diligently, we keep our soul by living our lives according to god's word, meditating on it, praying and praising god.

i think we also flex our spiritual muscles when we evangelise to people. evangelism need not be thru words . it can be throung our lifestyle as well.

finally we must make them known to our children. this means we must explain what god has been speaking to and doing in our lives.

the way i explain current affairs to jo and deborah, in the same way i expl how god works in our lives.

god, help me and ern to live out deut 4:9, that we may please you and bring up future generations of godly people as well.

love you jesus.

bless our day .

amen
