“Cursed
be Canaan” Genesis 9:25
Do you know what overwhelms me? The
grace of God; that overwhelms me! God cursed the ground but still made it so
productive that it can feed seven billion people. He cursed man and threw him
out of the garden, but he gave him life, family, and friends to accompany him
on his life’s journey. God hasn’t hesitated to curse sin, sinners, and the
ground on which sin is done, but in and through it all He continues to be
gracious to those who are cursed.
Canaan was cursed and God assigned
all his descendants to be destroyed; but there was still grace. Rahab was a
Canaanite and she was accepted by faith into the family of God and became a
direct ancestor of Christ. Mankind is cursed with the certainty of physical
death and eternal torment; but there is grace. God sent His Son and poured out
His wrath on Him that we might have forgiveness and eternal life through faith
in Christ’s work. That is the overwhelming grace of God.
Dear Father, Thank You for the
abundant grace You show us each day. Amen.
