Read God's Word through in a Year:
Single
Reading Daily--Genesis 15-18
Dual Readings in God's Word: Old
Testament
and Psalms--Genesis 11-12; Psalms
11-14
Genesis 15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come
hither
again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
Many have condemned God (at least in their language, though
powerless to do anything to the Creator!) for His command to kill the
inhabitants
of Israel when the Israelites came back from Egypt. I have never
seen them mention the second part of this verse! Benjamin
Franklin
at age 81 faced the stymied representatives gathered to write the
Constitution
of the United States in Philadelphia in 1887 arguing in a longer speech
to have prayer before the sessions (a practice continued today in
Congress)
making this statement: "I have lived, Sir, a long time, and
the
longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth:
that
God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall
to
the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise
without
His aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings that
except
the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I
firmly
believe this..." Archeology has found urns of ashes in walls
where children were burned to "bless" the homes. By the time the
400 years was past, their iniquity was indeed full! But the point
is that God gave them 400 years to get things right! God gives
each
of us a lifetime to find the right! And He gave us the Bible to
let
us KNOW what is right! Do not be found with your iniquity full,
but
turn to Jesus, the only name given among men, whereby man must be
saved!
