Let's pray for Genesis
, trusting God's promise: "He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear" (1 Cor 10:13). "Consider it pure joy...whenever you face trials...the testing of your faith produces perseverance" (James 1:2-3). Keep believing, He is faithful! 
For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
—Psalm 100:5 (KJV)
I usually "speed read" through the 'begats' (you know, through the genealogies in the Bible). But, let's take time today to go back and read Matthew 1:1-17 and be reminded that God's love, mercy, and faithfulness not only continued through all of those generations, but also blessed and nurtured each of those generations. As he has done in the past, God will do so even more in the days ahead as we await the glorious return of his Son and our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
In a world of change and undependability, thank you, dear Father, for being sure, steadfast, and faithful. In a time when everyone seems to want something from me or out of me, thank you, dear Father, for repeatedly and consistently blessing me. Thank you for being more enduring than the mountains and more glorious than the most beautiful sunrise. In the name of Jesus, your Son and my glory. Amen.
