Sorry I missed yesterday. I was out and about and by the time I got home I was so tired and hurting so much, I have fibromyalgia, I went right to bed. Today has not been any better, sorry to say so I do not have a creation for you.
That being said, I did want to still share some Bible thoughts.
To continue our study in Genesis, I had a discussion with my friend about Noah's son Ham and it ultimately went to God's forgiveness.
Ham went into Noah's tent while he was laying naked, then he went and told his brothers about it. Noah learned what Ham had done and cursed him. Jump to the future and we see that Ham had a son Cush who had a son Nimrod who was a mighty warrior. He built many cities and they were called "Great".
It seems God may have given forgiveness and Blessed him.
Genesis 9:20-27
20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded[a] to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.
24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,
“Cursed be Canaan!
The lowest of slaves
will he be to his brothers.”
26 He also said,
“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem!
May Canaan be the slave of Shem.
27 May God extend Japheth’s[b] territory;
may Japheth live in the tents of Shem,
and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”
Genesis 10:7-12
7 The sons of Cush:
Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteka.
The sons of Raamah:
Sheba and Dedan.
8 Cush was the father[c] of Nimrod, who became a mighty warrior on the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Uruk, Akkad and Kalneh, in[d] Shinar.[e]11 From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir,[f] Calah 12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah—which is the great city.
What are your thoughts?
What an Awesome God! I am at awe of His wisdom and Love!
I pray that this study is helping you learn more of God's goodness. There is way more to come!
Thanks for popping in today! Come back tomorrow, I hope to back in swing of things so I can craft with you all again!
