Day 9: Family

No matter where you go, you never go by yourself.  In other words, you carry with you part of the past generation and the future generation.  “Every deed has a seed.”  The deeds you choose to do in this lifetime create a seed for future generations.  The businessman who takes a trip and watches pornography in secret in his hotel room is not just affecting himself, but he is also sowing seeds for generations to come.  Similarly, if that same businessman chooses instead to worship God in the privacy of his hotel room, seeds of worship and faith are being sown into the future generations.  Wherever you go, every deed is producing a seed.  You’re either sowing iniquity for the next generation, or you’re sowing equity, spiritually and righteously, for the next generation.  Today, pray for those in your family and those yet to come.  Break generational curses and establish blessings.  Lay a foundation for the next generation.

May the Lord bless you from Zion all the days of your life; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem, and may you live to see your children’s children. – Psalm 128:5-6 (NIV)

 
Application:  Reflect on the battled that ensues between carnal man and the spirit

  2. I'm finding that the time that I'm giving up watching television during the fast not only gives me more time to spend with God but to get a lot of other things done as well. I'm even thinking about taking up sewing again! My God is good and worthy to be praised!
