Scripture:
”Lamech named his son Noah, for he said, “May he bring us relief from our work and the painful labor of farming this ground that the Lord has cursed.”“ Genesis 5:29 NLT
Observation:
Lamech named his son Noah because Noah means, “relief” or “comfort.” He wanted God to bring comfort and relief to the world through his son. When God is going to do something in the earth, He always raises up a comforter and one who bring relief. Lamech knew things were bad and was believing that God would use his son to bring relief.
Application:
A father’s vision and input into their kids lives is powerful. A father always needs to seek the Lord for the naming of his children and to seek the Lord for a word for his children. Their destiny is in his hands, and the hands of the Lord. One of the most influential people in one’s life is their father. A father can speak blessing for curses over their children. I want to speak blessings and see my sons become all they can be for God.
Prayer:
Lord God, I present my sons to You. Let them serve You well and use their lives for Your glory. Let them bring relief and blessing to many throughout the nations. Let my sons follow hard after You with all their hearts. I dedicated both of them to You when they were babies. Now work in their lives and do what I can’t do. Bring about Your plans for them.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
