Amminadab's Family: Generational Leaders
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.” - Deuteronomy 6:4-7
A girl and a boy that had a good dad –
So starts the legacy of Amminadab.
The little girl Elisheba would grow up to marry
Aaron, who’d one day the title “High Priest” carry.
The little boy Nahshon God would choose to be
Judah’s tribal leader when the Israelites were free.
Nahshon had a son, Salmon was his name;
He married Rahab, for true faith she proclaimed.
Their son Boaz kept that faith for himself,
Though cultural confusion made the judge of “right” one’s
self.
Boaz married Ruth as her kinsman redeemer,
Then came Obed, Jesse, David…all the way to our Savior.
But what he put inside those kids became his legacy.
Then may our God raise up today in our own generation
Families who will faithful be: the greatest commendation.
