Oh, if we only understood the dangers of not being God-reliant. Noah goes through all that he did and ends up lying naked and drunk in his tent. We have often said that we do not fear "the storm" we are caught in. What we fear is returning to our old ways of being self-reliant when "the storm" is over.
Ham dishonors his father by seeing him naked and not covering him up but instead telling others about it. Look at the people groups who came from Ham's line—Babylon, Nineveh, Philistines, Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, etc. Wow! Also Sodom & Gomorrah.
Shem did what was right. Abraham, David, and Jesus came from his line.
I want to make sure that my actions today and everyday leaves a legacy FOR Christ and FOR the generations to come.
Addendum: 8/28/13 ~ The question is: What are we (you) going to do with the New Beginning? The choices we make will determine the blessings and/or consequences we receive and will impact the generations that follow. You just cannot overestimate the importance of leaving a legacy of being a devoted true Christ follower. Truly following HIS footpath—no matter where it leads.
Next Entry: Genesis 11:1–32
