Parents Behaving Badly by Pastor Abidan Shah
Unfortunately, we live in a time where it’s not just the children who do the unthinkable, but also some parents. They make choices and live in such a way that embarrasses the children.
GOD’S WAY AND GOD’S TIMING
When God gave the promise that a virgin will give birth to a child who will be the Savior of the world, the people did not understand its meaning. In fact, they dismissed it as a foolish idea. How could a little child save us from the coming Syrian-Ephraim invasion? Instead of listening to the prophet Isaiah, King Ahaz of Judah sought the help of the king of Assyria. In the end, they all suffered.
Sadly, we look everywhere else but towards God during times of trouble. We want God to work in our life but we want Him to do it our way and in our timing. What we fail to realize is that God’s ways are much higher than our ways. All we can do is humbly submit to His authority and when we do, we see God’s size results in His timing.
WHO IS IN YOUR FAMILY TREE? -3
In Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus Christ we find 4 “not so illustrious” names. So far we have seen the first two – Tamar and Rahab. Now we come to the third one – Ruth.
Why did Matthew include her? Because Ruth had three strikes against her – she was poor, a widow, and a Moabite. None of this interfered with God’s plan of grace on Ruth’s life. He saved her and grafted her into Jesus’ genealogy. He can do the same for us today.
WHO IS IN YOUR FAMILY TREE?
What a blessing for us to know that all of us can come to Him and find grace! Furthermore, it doesn’t matter what we have in our past. God’s grace can cover every sin.
