Generations

“Our children will also serve Him. Future generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord. His righteous acts will be told to those not yet born. They will hear about everything He has done.” Psalms‬ ‭22:30-31‬ ‭NLT‬‬

It is a wonder that the knowledge of God and all the things He has done will pass from one generation to the next. Worldly, man-made religions and associated organisations more often than not will peter out and disappear over time – the ancient Egyptian religion is but one example. But Christianity has prevailed and survived for over two millennia now and is growing strongly in some parts of the world, even though it is in decline in others. But the Word of God endures forever – because that is what God has ordained. It is the purity of the Word, and the “Word become flesh”, Jesus, that seals the relationship God has with mankind for eternity. Secular organisations and politicians here in the UK may try their best to stamp out Christianity and replace it with their own particular brand of “religion” but the Bible is quite clear about the eternal longevity of His Word. Here are two examples:

Jesus said, “Heaven and earth will disappear, but My words will never disappear.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:35‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

So it isn’t surprising that “the wonders of the Lord” pass from one generation to the next. We will all leave a legacy for our children and grandchildren, the next generations. What will be mine? Hmmm…
