Sat.’s Devo - God’s Master Plan

Read: 1 Chronicles 1:1-2:17, Acts 23:11-35, Ps. 3:1-8, Pr. 18:1-4-15 I love to read the genealogies; I always learn something new. Methuselah’s name means “when he dies, it will come”. He was the longest living man because when he died, the flood was coming. When he died, Noah went into the ark and the rains came. When it comes to Noah’s sons these verses focus on Ham’s line. Ham was Noah’s son who was cursed for looking on his father’s naked body and making fun of him. From his sons we get the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, the Hittites…just to name a few. These were all nations that God would later tell Joshua to destroy. Peleg’s name means “earthquake” and during his days there was a great earthquake that divided the earth. In Acts the devil’s scheme to kill Paul was discovered and thwarted. Jewish men had bound themselves with a curse to kill him. But, because Paul was a Roman, the centurion was trying to make up to Paul for mistaking him as a Jew and binding him. He ordered Paul to be accompanied to Rome with 200 soldiers, 70 horsemen, and 200 spearmen! That is what I call protection. God had planned this very day years ago when He had Paul born a Roman. God knows just what is in store for our lives and has planned everything… to the very parents we have. It is all part of His plan. Lord, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your master plan. We are honored to offer our lives for Your service.
