Tuesday Thought -- December 11, 2012



Good Morning Friends,

“One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts.  They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works.  They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds.  They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.  The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.” (Psalm 145:4-8)

How will the next generation hear of the Lord and His marvelous love if this generation does not tell them?

Most parents want to give to their children the things that they need.  We want to provide them with good housing, decent clothes, nutritious food, and toys and things that demonstrate our love for them.  We spend time with them, read to them, tuck them in to bed.  And all of those are good things, but they are not what the next generation needs more than anything else.

More than anything else, the next generation needs to hear of the Lord and His marvelous love for them!

Who will tell the next generation if we don’t?

God has done marvelous things for you.  He’s shown you His love.  He’s demonstrated His power.  He has been good to you.  Tell a child.  Pass the word to the next generation and ones that follow, too.

His, by Grace,

Steve
