Teaching Our Children About God

Scripture Judges 2:10 When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who did not know the LORD nor the work which He had done for Israel.

Observation: Each generation seems to get farther from God. Our society makes it difficult to serve or praise God. We are close to Christmas and the day has been replaced with Happy Holidays and on the news I saw that a community is going to be changing the name of their Christmas Parade to a Holiday parade. The number of teenagers that drop their faith are on the rise as each generation moves away from our Lord. Christians don’t fight for their rights while others fight to take what little Christians have away and we stand by and do nothing about it.

Application: We need to help teach our children about our Lord. We can start with our children and grandchildren and help guide them to God. I then need to get involved with the things that are turning people away from Jesus and be there to fight for my Lord. I do so little and so much needs to be done.

Prayer: Dear Lord forgive me for my laziness and give me strength to make a difference in this generation. I’m only here because you desire me to be, so use me for your glory and give me wisdom to help bring others to your name.
