We live life on earth, as citizens of Heaven on an assignment here on Earth. Our assignment is to bring Heaven on Earth through Jesus Christ, our redeemer. In this process, we get transformed into His image. We know that God created us in His image and His likeness. This is a process of transformation.
We progress in our assignment as we progress into being transformed into His image. Hence, they cover a wide range of canvas as the journey is resplendent and colourful in its variety. You will enjoy reading these, not necessarily agreeing to them – that is not a prerequisite to enjoy it.
Everyone – Lot and his family members were warned by the angels of God. Yet Lot’s wife looked back and she was transformed. She became a “pillar of salt”.
But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. (Genesis 19:26 NKJV)
Abraham’s nephew was called Lot. Abraham was asked to leave the Ur of Chaldees by God ( in present day Iraq) to the promised land of Canaan (modern day Israel). Abraham was accompanied by his wife and his nephew Lot.
Relationships between fathers with their children are important for God. Even between children and their fathers. (Also referred to fathers and sons in the Bible)
The last verse of the old testament states that God will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to the fathers. God warns if the relationship does not improve, a punishment of utter destruction would follow.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. ( Malachi 4: 5-6 NKJV)
God gives us a beautiful role in creation. Birthing a child is a privilege where a man and his wife partner with God.
A husband and wife go through various stages which can include hope, expectation, pleasure, sacrifice, pain, joy, love and more. Seeking the Lord’s presence, strength, grace, protection, guidance in all the stages, months and years before conception, sets everything in order, with abundant Peace. Don’t we plan for months and years for many major decisions and milestones in our lives. Isn’t the birth of a life an extremely significant milestone and a decision? Seeking the Lord’s blessings through prayers and declarations is important.
