Powerful Words from the Prophets
This is what the Lord says: “The people of Judah have sinned again and again, and I will not let them go unpunished! They have rejected the instruction of the Lord, refusing to obey his decrees. They have been led astray by the same lies that deceived their ancestors.” – Amos 2:4 (NLT)
“Redeem It or Repeat It”
This is what the Lord says: “The people of Judah have sinned again and again, and I will not let them go unpunished! They have rejected the instruction of the Lord, refusing to obey his decrees. They have been led astray by the same lies that deceived their ancestors.” – Amos 2:4 (NLT)
“Redeem It or Repeat It”
Have you ever noticed how some families have the same struggles generation after generation? Addiction. Babies born out of wedlock. Lack of education. Domestic violence. Divorce. You would think that people growing up around those challenges would make sure to avoid them. But they often don’t. People will go down the same paths, make the same mistakes, and end up in the same places as their parents and grandparents. It’s crazy.
That’s what God is pointing out to His People through Amos. It’s not just that they have sinned, but they have committed the SAME sins and gone down the SAME paths as their ancestors did. Even though the stories of their ancestors were written down and the consequences of their actions were well documented, they did it anyway.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. I have a friend who grew up near me who came from a pretty troubled home. His home was filled with lots of alcohol, lots of porn, and lots of yelling and foul language. Along the way, he decided that the life his family members were living was not the life he wanted. He committed his life to Christ and became an amazing man of God. Instead of repeating the sins of his family, he allowed God to redeem his past by His Grace and make a life that is holy and good.
Many people believe that they are victims of their families of origin. It’s easy to believe that “this is just the life I was dealt.” But we don’t have to make the choices our families have made. We don’t have to make the same mistakes, embrace the same addictions, or repeat the same sins. We can find healing through Jesus Christ. We can find a new path and a new way to live. God can help us to redeem our past, so we don’t repeat it. That’s God’s Word for you today.
