Keeping Faith with the Next Generation
"Now that I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God. Let me proclaim Your power to this new generation, Your mighty miracles to all who come after me." ~ Psalm 71:18
The early Christians turned the world upside down. Their charge and ours today is the same — to rescue the perishing and care for the dying, to go to the helpless one and tell them Jesus saves.
I heard about a little girl who said to her mother, “Do you remember that priceless vase we all love so much that’s been handed down to our family from one generation to another generation?” The mother said, “Yes.” The little girl sheepishly revealed, “Well, this generation just dropped it.”
Now friend, this generation cannot drop it.
The faith that we enjoy must be handed down from generation to generation. We must not drop this priceless heirloom that God has placed into our hands.
