Here's Remembering You!
“Dinah,
daughter of Leah and Jacob, went out to visit
some
of the Canaanite women.”
Genesis 34:1
 |
| Ugh! |
Dinah
took one more look at her tented home, her mother grinding wheat, and the
bleating, smelly goats nearby. And she was gone—in a flash!
What
fun! She was popular, the new girl and the boys—stood in line. But one boy, a
prince in the region, took a special liking to Dinah and with sweet words
seduced her, and brought her into his home. Angry brothers sought revenge,
killed her lover and brought her back.
Dinah wanted to do the popular thing...wanted to fit in. But she made a dangerous choice which brought shame upon her family. Dinah is remembered for her foolishness.
Maybe she said to herself, “Oh, I just want to have fun, spread my wings and
discover who I am. What’s all the fuss? Look at me. I’m
flying out the nest!”
Dinah
was no leader—not a girl with backbone. She followed the crowd.
(Despite
her fall, Dinah was returned and made right by God—but more on that good news
later.)
You’re a child of the King chosen for greatness--for leadership. Follow Jesus your Shepherd. He's grooming you for His purpose, a
great purpose! And people will remember you...and smile!
Dear Lord,
Cleanse my heart today. Make me ever pure. You've chosen me for greatness. I will follow You!
