Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I usually "speed read" through the 'begats' (you know, through the genealogies in the Bible). But, let's take time today to read Matthew 1:1-17 and have the Holy Spirit remind us that God's love, mercy, and faithfulness not only continued through all of those generations but also blessed and nurtured each of those generations, bringing them to Jesus, the Savior of all people. As he has done his work through his people so faithfully in the past, he will do so even more in the days ahead as we await the glorious return of his Son and our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Why? How can we be sure of this? The Lord is good, and his love and faithfulness endure through all generations, now and forever more, amen.
My Prayer...
In a world of change and undependability, thank you, dear Father, for being sure, steadfast, and faithful. In a time when everyone seems to want something from me or out of me, thank you, dear Father, for repeatedly and consistently blessing me. Thank you for being more enduring than the mountains and more glorious than the most beautiful sunrise. In the name of Jesus, your Son and my glory. Amen.
