“You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand [generations] of those who love me and keep my commandments.” (Exodus 20:4-6)
Have you ever thought about four generations versus a thousand generations? In four generations, you have thirty ancestors, and in ten generations you have 2,046. God says if we love Him and keep His commandments He will show love to a thousand generations. Wow! Can you wrap your head around that? What we do today will impact many generations to come. Never underestimate the obedience of one life.
