DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Grace To The Humble
I Kings 21:27-29
"So it was, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his body, and fasted and lay in sackcloth, and went about mourning. And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 'See how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity in his days. In the days of his son I will bring the calamity on his house.' "
God is gracious and merciful. When Ahab humbled himself in repentance, God was moved to forgive, even though the consequences of Ahab's ungodliness would only be delayed to the next generation. Even when a person repents, the next generation will still suffer because they have been affected by the father's sins, and they will follow in their father's footsteps. This is not the end of the story. But is an example of the wonderful grace and mercy of God toward those who will humble themselves before Him.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: God is gracious to forgive those who humble themselves before Him in repentance.
Have a humble day. Love you.
