An Invitation

God speaks. He speaks into our hearts and minds through people, nature, the church. He also speaks to us through His Word. His Word is His love letter to us, His way of helping us remember who we are and assure us of His promises. His Word is the road map to help us live the passionate adventurous lives He always meant for us.

These blog entries are teasers. Insights and revelations to encourage you to read the bible, the greatest piece of literature that was written especially for you, God's child.

Generational Blessings


Ruth 4:16 Then Naomi took the child, laid him in her lap and cared for him. 17 The women living there said, "Naomi has a son." And they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.

It's a biblical principle--If you love God and keep His commandments, He will bless you and show His love to a thousand generations. God's favor won't stop with your immediate family. It will flow to a thousand generations after.

Ruth and Boaz completely obeyed our Heavenly Father. Their son was the great grandfather of David who was a direct descendant of Jesus. Imagine that! Ruthand Boaz, part of the Messiah's bloodline! The impact of their righteous decisions continues to bless us today.

Do you want your descendants to be blessed? How will you open the door to generational blessings? What impact will your life make on future generations?
