Daily Devotional, Genesis Chapter 9, 10
God Loves the Cities and It's Many Nations Under God
In chapter 9 of Genesis we see the establishment of cities. I have lived in
the cities but I have also lived in the country. There is definitely benefits
to both, but when doing the work of God, there is so much opportunity in
cities. There are those ministries, to people that we see Jesus involved in in
the New Testament. For whatever reason, we know that often times people are
drawn to the cities. People from all walks and with all kinds of needs.
Unfortunately we see unrest in cities as well, we see this especially so as of
this devotion, in America,
we see riots, discord and rebellion. The one thing we don't see enough of is a
turning to God as the answer to the worlds problems.
There is also a concept approached in chapter 10 that I appreciate here. We see
that God is the God of all Nations, that in reality, many nations, not just
one, is to be under the rule and direction of God. We often think, no matter
where we are at in the world that it is all about us no matter what nation we
live in, yet we can clearly see through scripture that God loves all people, of
all nations. In church this morning I appreciated the comments of the pastor on
this subject, while some of us are blessed, and should feel so to be in the
nation we are, we must remember, we are only visitors here, our ultimate nation
as followers of Jesus is the Kingdom of God, our brothers and sisters are in
many nations around the globe, not just the one we live in.
How should we see the needs of our brothers and sisters around the World, how do we contemplate their faith journey and especially so in conjunction with the reality that while we may have brothers and sisters who are citizens of other nations, we are all citizens of the Kingdom of God.
