Future Generations
This month we are excited to have a conference entitled, “The Grass is Greener Where You Water It” on October 19th and in preparing for this event I felt strongly impressed to write another blog to each of you. We must understand that God wants us to experience generational blessings! Luke 1:50 tells us, “He shows mercy from generation to generation to all who fear Him.” Also in Joel 1:3 says, “Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation.”
There are things we are currently experiencing because our parents/grandparents accepted and allowed that which was contrary to what God’s Word clearly says. He longs and even waits to make us the people He created us to be! There is something on the inside of each of us wanting to fill a void ‘so to speak’ that honestly only the Lord can fill!
Let’s understand that whatever we are giving a ‘stamp of approval on today, the next generation will run with, even expound on!’ Knowing this let’s take very seriously how and in what ways are we to live our lives in front of others ~ how much more those we have influence over! Most of us do not recognize the power of influence!
There seems to be an increase of “group think” and “do whatever you want” but remember this is not something God is in favor of! Matthew 7:14 “For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” And in Mark 8:34 “Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, He said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.” This is clear that few are finding the way that lead to life which includes turning from our selfish ways, NOT doing ‘whatever we want to!’ When we follow HIM we recognize that our lives our truly NOT our own, we have been bought with a price and we must choose to follow after HIM daily, moment-by-moment.
With that said, let’s make up our minds to lay solid foundations for future generations. Let’s become more aware that what and who we are around can have a great impact on us, so let’s decide to make a difference where God has us and NOT allow things contrary to HIS truth to take away what we know is RIGHT! We know that children are our future and they are like “sponges” soaking up all that is around them, so please remember what Ephesians 5:15 warns us, “Be very careful, then, how you live–not as unwise but as wise”
There is still time to register for this one-day conference, “The Grass is Greener Where You Water It.” on October 19th. For more information go to: www.resplendency.com/greenergrass
