Today I read Genesis 26:22-27:37 and Matthew 13:25-53. My favorite verses are:
Genesis 26:24 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
Matthew 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
God has a great memory. He blessed Isaac, Abraham’s son, and Isaac’s descendants because of the good life Abraham lived. God blessed generations for the sake of one life lived in obedience to Him. Even when the descendants sinned against God and refused to obey Him, he continued to bless them for Abraham’s sake. For us today, it should be an encouragement to know that our lives can make a difference not only for our lifetime, but for generations to come. May we live in such a way that God can bless our descendants for our sake. And one day we have the promise that we will shine like the sun in God’s kingdom. All darkness will be banished and only the light will remain. Jesus reminds us again to listen. And we must not only listen, but also obey.
About Me
- Dena
- Since retiring from public school teaching, I spend more time on church and Theatre activities. My church family is at Union Ridge Baptist near Nixa. I am married to Ron Boutwell, Founder of Stained Glass Theatre. We have two dogs and four cats to keep us company! I donate blood platelets twice each month at the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks because I want to be useful to others who need help. I am involved in the ministry of Stained Glass Theatre; I began in 2009 with a role in the Christmas production then served as an understudy in THE OUTPOURING. Since then, I have appeared in several more shows. I pray that God will allow me to be used of Him and witness for Him along with the rest of the SGT Family.
