I learned last week that two of my ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War. That’s going back in time.
From God’s perspective, those folks and everyone after them leading up to me — all recent history.
My family tree goes back to Creation and Adam.
Genesis 2:7 (NLT)
Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.
I’m a branch from Adam’s tree.
Good morning, Lord. You’ve watched over every living person on earth, from Adam to today’s 8 million. Even so, You pay attention to my every movement, my every thought — how amazing! I’m blessed by the ancestors who made it possible for me to exist. Make me a blessing to those who follow after me. May I leave a trail of steppingstones that guide them to You.
