For Tuesday, December 10, 2024:
Deuteronomy 5:9b-10 NLT, God’s words: “I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me.”
Our God claims to be a jealous God. He wants 100% of your allegiance 100% of the time. But friends, think about it: there really are no other gods, so I don’t know if God is jealous as much as he is a truth advocate. He has no patience for competing with fictitious, made-up gods. His desire is that everyone get on-board with him, the one true God, and the only God!
Children attend church with their parents. Therefore any spiritual misinformation gets passed down from one generation to the next...and the next, and the next. As we’re still to honor our parents, it’s a difficult pattern to break. Understand that God doesn’t automatically condemn the third and fourth generations, but it’s bound to happen when children follow in their parent’s footsteps.
God wants us to have enough courage to step away from what we were taught, read our Bibles and then pursue truth. v10 “I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands.”
Get on the right track, God’s truth track!
