Family Blanket

II Samuel 5-7

The Bible always has a wonderful way of making clear the ways of the universe.  One way of the universe is that the family is the central human grouping.  It’s the tie that binds, the unbroken circle but unfortunately ties do come untied and circles do get broken and sometimes families come unraveled.   There is one way, come what may, the warp and weft of the family weave can remain forever strong.   “And now, O Lord God, Thou art God, and Thy words are truth and Thou hast promised this good to Thy servant.  “Now therefore may it please Thee to bless the house of Thy servant, that it may continue forever before Thee, for Thou O Lord God, hast spoken; and with Thy blessing may the house of Thy servant be blessed forever.”  7:29

Don’t you love it when God uses the word “Forever!”
