Judah
and Tamar gave us a great Jerry Springer show in Genesis 38. Topics included:
·
Marrying people from different cultural/racial background
disasters· I slept with my brother’s wife
· Men who solicit prostitutes
· I had my father-in-laws baby
But
praise God that He is in control. We
have hope that our failed or feeble attempts cannot stop God’s plan. In this passage we saw how God used Judah and
Tamar in the lineage leading to King David and on to Jesus. That gives me hope!
My
challenge to you this week is to write out your family tree. Which members of your family are not followers
of God the Son? Which members will you
be able to reach during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays? How can you be Christ to your family? Then add in names from people in your community
or at work that you can have an eternal affect on during this time of
year.
Be
intentional.
