Day 230 – At some point you’ve just got to stop the cycle.
Today’s Reading: Ezekiel 7 – 9
Ezekiel 18:20 “The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them.”
As a mom and a wife, there are many cycles that I’d like to end, but instead I’m put in charge of actually completing them. The dishes keep piling up, and I think the laundry grows on its own. However, if you want clean clothes in this home, I’ve got to get them done.
So as I was thinking about all the cycles I run throughout in a week I began to think about our children and the cycles that they continue in. I’m not talking about traits they were born with that’s part of your DNA or something they do to help out around the house, I’m talking about habits or learned traits that we, their parents, passed down to them and was passed down to us from the generations before us. I wish I could say these are all good traits, but let’s just say, we don’t have enough time or space to dive into my dirty laundry.
But you know what? All learned habits can be broken and if they are broken the only one to get discipline for them are the ones still doing them. God won’t punish us for the sins of our past after we’ve been saved, but he will punish us if we are continuing down the wrong path with sin surrounding us. So let’s break them! Let’s rips off the chains that bind us to the cycles of previous generations.
