Read:
Psalms 144:12
12 Then our sons in their youth
will be like well-nurtured plants,
and our daughters will be like pillars
carved to adorn a palace.
Statistics show that for the first time in history, adults sixty-five and over will surpass those that are five years and under. This is a scary statement. How can our kids be ready for the next generation if life itself is diminishing right before our eyes. As a manager at a grocery retail store for eight years, I have seen good kids from this generation and they are good kids that have potential. I believe in our children today, and we should be behind them all of the way. It's not over for us yet. I don't know when the Lord will come back and we are definitely living in the last days, but even if God was coming back tomorrow He still wants us to do things today as if we were going to be here another decade or more. We need to prepare the child for the path, not the path for the child. Show the child how to pray and they will know, but allow them to pray and they will do and be ready for the next generation by preparation. I want to encourage all of us today to not give up on our children. They are special in God's eyes, and there are some dynamite kids today that our in the midst of our generation. Lets teach our children the ways of the Lord so that they can make the palace of Jesus Christ as a temple attractive to those who need salvation.
Prayer:
Lord, we ask that you would birth in us such a desire to instill in our youth truth that will sustain them for our next generation. help us not to give up on them in a corrupt world, and help us to pray for them and our nation in your name we pray, Amen.
