What legacy will you leave with your family as you lead? If you do not lead your family, you and your family will suffer. If you do not lead, don’t expect anyone to follow. With Christ’s help, we should do all we can to leave a legacy of hard work, sobriety, sexual purity, training in righteousness, Godly discipline, and a life completely surrendered to God.
Our recovery after the storm begins with worship.
We can begin again under God’s favor.
We can begin again under God’s blessing.
We can begin again under God’s promises.
Our Heavenly Father has warned us about the wrath to come. But at the same time, He has offered His divine protection and provision in the midst of the storms we face. By God's grace He offers His immediate care for us in the midst of every storm. We need to simply enter into His gracious protection where He promises to shelter us and lift us above every circumstance. He will remember us as He leads us to a new beginning after the storm.
Our sin and rebellion against God will always bring about the righteous storm of God’s judgment. But God has provided a way for us to find peace and safety in the midst of the storm. Our faithful participation in God’s provision will secure our salvation through every storm.
Our blatant rebellion against God has had incredibly negative consequences. But our righteous obedience to God will always bring God’s favor. We need to do all we can to overcome evil with good in the power of Christ.
God designed us to walk with Him under His blessing.
Our sin disrupts our walk with God.
We need faithfully walk with God.
Ephesians 4:31-32 - Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.
And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.”
