ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE  FOR 3RD SEPTEMBER 2024.

Psalm 127: 3-5 indicates that children are blessings from God which should make every parent grateful. In only two generations, Jacob was blessed with 70 descendants (vv.26, 27). Though Leah was not Jacob’s favourite wife, God gave her 6 sons and 1 daughter (Gen. 30: 20-21). From them, we have 33 descendants. Her maid Zilpah had 16, while Rachel and her maid, Bilhah, had 14 and 7 respectively. Thus, even when the powers that be do not like you or favour you, God can still fulfil His purpose for your lfe as you trust Him.

In our text, all the males were mentioned by name. Please begin today to keep good and accurate records of your family line! Trace them as far as possible from both the maternal and paternal sides. Jacob’s only daughter, Dinah, was mentioned by name (v.15); while Joseph’s wife, Asenath, was the only wife mentioned by name (v.20). The reference to Simeon’s son, Shaul, as “the son of a Canaanite woman” gives a sense of dispproval (v.10).

Endeavour to marry from among the people of God to avoid what Paul calls “being unequally yoked”(2 Cor.6: 14).

PRAYER: Oh God, let your good purposes for my life come to pass in Jesus Name, Amen.
