This is the 175th letter:
Text for the day: Numbers 14:18
The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
Our Series: “MY LIFE, MY LOVE, MY ALL” PART 1
Our Theme for the day: “My Life”
Our Devotional
You may have heard it said by them of old, “Be careful what you do in your youthful years because it may follow you in adult-hood. Going a step further, the things we do in youth can also affect our posterity.” This could be said true of Ham the son of Noah. Many years had passed and the world was coming along with the repopulation of the people of the earth since the flood came which swept away all, beside eight who where not morally and spiritually corrupted. Gods promise to Noah that He would preserve His family was kept. He had declared, "Thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation." Genesis 7:1. As the children of Noah started to have children, they passed on the story of the great flood. With all the knowledge of Gods mercy to the obedient who where saved. The question has always been.
Who would dear turn there back on God like those before the flood and go from following and worshiping Him? Who? Yet the Bible helps us see that the three sons of Noah where different from each other, but yet the same in more ways then one, before the flood came over the world. Shem, Ham, and Japheth, were now to become the founders of the human race. They would foreshadow the character of their children and their children’s children right on down to our day. Let me say, “The main propose of this series is to help us look at our selves and the influence for good or bad we have over our children, and down to our children’s children.” Speaking by divine inspiration, Noah outlined the path and history of his sons and the nations that shall rise from them. Tracing the descendants of Ham, he declared,
"Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren." Because of Hams unnatural crime of irreverence to his father when he was drunk and naked, revealed the impiety and vileness of his character. These evil characteristics were perpetuated in Canaan and his children, whose continued guilt called upon them the judgments of God. ………..
On the other hand, the reverence manifested by Shem and Japheth for their father, and thus for the divine statutes, promised a brighter future for their descendants. Concerning these sons it was declared: "Blessed be Jehovah, God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant." The line of Shem was to be that of the chosen people, of God's covenant, of the promised Redeemer. Jehovah was the God of Shem. From him would descend Abraham, and the people of Israel, through whom Christ was to come. Today you can save your children much hardship by following the command of the Lord by honoring your parents. Truly, "Happy is that people, whose God is the Lord." Psalm 144:15.
