Our Future Generation

Deuteronomy 32:1-14

"Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants. I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Oh, praise the greatness of or God! He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he. They have acted corruptly toward him; to their shame they are no longer his children, but a warped and crooked generation. Is this the way you repay the LORD, O foolish and unwise people? Is he not your Father, your Creator, who made you and formed you? Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you." (v. 2-7)

Even in the times of the Old Testament was there already a recognition of future generations slowly moving away from the Lord. It is sad to see the truth and love progressive being lost in later generations. This is not to say that they are not "spiritual", but that it is being compromised ("warped and crooked"). Therefore, let us be clear in our beliefs of the truth and about His love, and take time to share these with others. If our children, whether ours or anyone else, is seeking an answer, then let us share with them His truth and love. As parents, we must become great examples by first being great sons and daughters. Let His truth and love flow in us and through us to overflow into our children.
