Observation: the breakdown of each trimester of 14 generations encompasses the rise of a God's chosen people, the height of their glory, corruption, arrogance, and their enslavement setting the stage for Jesus.
Application: When The Lord brings prosperity or good things into our lives, do not embrace those things more or allow them to become more important than they once were. If we allow these things to become more important in our lives, it brings about arrogance. Our way of thinking becomes that we know better than God, hence leading us to become slaves to the sin that we have chosen to embrace instead of following after God. Clearly today, just as in the past, we need a Saviour...and His name is Jesus.
Prayer: Daddy, help me embrace You more each day and let everything else fade away. Give me a heart that seeks yours. Teach me to love as You love and to not over value the material things. Thank You for the many blessings You have given me. Thank You for loving me so much that You came to Earth and died on the cross for me. Help me be the man You want me to be Lord, I need You to make that happen, for I can not do it of my own accord. Amen.
