Another lesson we can learn from God’s attributes is that He starts afresh. He is not a God who is afraid to appraise performance and then use the insights learned from there to start afresh or anew.

Another attribute we can learn from God is that, in addition to learning from His own processes and making amends using insights gained from His evaluation, He also holds Himself accountable to ensure that the process does not fail again. He is a God of accountability.
The man in the Bible that we shall spotlight today is Nimrod, the mighty one. Nimrod had the honor of being the first man to be described as ‘mighty’ in the Bible and, by extension, in recorded history.
Today, we shall consider the counterpart lesson of yesterday’s spotlight by profiling two men who demonstrated unusual maturity by covering their parent’s shame. We shall be looking at the story of Shem and Japheth, who covered the nakedness of their father.
God is still very much in the business of scattering and scuttling structures today, particularly schemes and affairs that do not align with His will. He does not condone nonsense and does not suffer fools gladly.
The man in the Bible for our spotlight today is Ham, the lastborn of Noah. In Ham, we will see the portrait of a gossip and an accursed man. This is not a particularly good note, but hopefully, we all can learn from his mistakes and steer clear of them.
