O God of Lamech. We know very less of him.
He was a mysterious figure in Genesis: 4 recorded as a polygamist, killer, wild
man and the poet of “SONG OF THE SWORD” (Gen 18:21-22). Bible did not record whom
he killed and the reason behind it. But
we can learn something from his life. In Gen 5:30b he said “Out of the ground
that the Lord has cursed this one (Noah) shall bring us relief from our work
and from the toil of our hands.” He was the daddy of Noah. Parents always expect
great things from their children. It is Lamech’s hope that Noah shall bring
relief. He lived for 595 years after the birth of Noah. May be he confessed of
his guilt, pleaded with God and asked favour on his son. Bible says, “Noah
found favour in the sight of the Lord” (Gen 6:8). Dear parents, let us ask God
to bless our children, pour out His choicest blessings, and to give uncommon
favour. And know that your Hopes will never be cut off.
