She already had eight daughters but the pressure to have a male child eventually broke the marriage. The next marriage also produced another daughter but she finally had a boy at the third marriage. The joy of having a son was however short-lived. As he grew into his teen years the boy had become the epitome of all that was negative. It was his life as a criminal that led to the death of his mother even as the girls went on to become achievers in life.

?And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.? ? Numbers 27: 6-7 (KJV)

Appreciate God?s gift to you,
Let the Son shine in your life daily.
