PASSING ON THE BATON NO. 1
Psalm 78:4: "We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done."We must pray that God will give us wisdom on how to pass these precious, godly values on to future generations. No matter how important we as parents seek to adhere to godly values ourselves, we fail the next generation if we fail to pass these values on to them. This is something over which many parents, throughout all ages, have had regrets.
This is a most important subject about which we as parents and grandparents must have more wisdom and understanding. It's not good enough for us to shrug our shoulders and say, "Well, we did our best." Perhaps we did do our best and perhaps we did not. Yet, it does us no harm to honestly reflect upon what has brought success and what has brought failure.
One thing is certain about our country is the undeniable truth that godly values have fallen and continue to fall. Even in the church. This weakens the effectiveness of the church and brings much discouragement.
Many godly parents and grandparents wring their hand in despair as they see their precious children and grandchildren fall away from God and go the way of the world, the flesh, and the devil. In the following posts I will share ways we can pass the baton on to the next generation.
Be encouraged.
