FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT

The psalmist proclaimed in Psalm 135:13, "Thy name, O Lord, endureth forever, and thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations." The more correct Hebrew translation should be "to generation and generation."

How is God going to be remembered from one generation to the next?  By fathers and mothers imparting God and His truth to their children. Our greatest responsibility is to reveal God to our children, through our lives and through the Scriptures. It is not enough for them to know about God. We must pray that each one will experience and know Him in such a way that they will continue to reveal Him to their children, and their children to their children. His words must not depart out of the mouth of our children, or our children's children, "from henceforth and FOREVER" (Isaiah 59:21).

We see God revealing Himself from one generation to the other in His name, "The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob" (Exodus 3:15).

Our children will pass on what fills their hearts. Are their hearts filled with the revelation of God and His Word? Is it so ingrained in their hearts that you can be sure they will pass it on? We have a responsibility to make this happen, dear mothers. It takes purpose, consistency, and effort.

God is a generational God. He wants us to have a vision, not only for our children now, but for the coming generations.
