Bible Verse of the Day Thursday June 2nd, 2022

 Joshua 4:24 He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the Lord is powerful and so that you might always fear the Lord your God.”

The LORD carried the Children of Israel miraculously across the Jordan River during the flood season. He did this because of his love, grace, mercy, and promise to His people many years before. God sent a message to His people; He wanted the Israelites always to reverence Him.

We all have particular objects that trigger specific memories in our life of people that have shared special times with us. I am sure that we all could testify to times that God has answered our prayers in the past. When young David went out to fight Goliath, he said: Lord, I remember when you defeated the lion and the bear, and I am confident that you will help me defeat this Philistine. However, there are times that we go through a trial leading into some deep dark valley that we tend to forget what God has done for us in the past. When the Children of Israel were getting ready to go in and take the land promised them by God, Moses issued a warning. He told them never to forget what God had done for them by bringing them out of slavery and leading them to the Promised land. God wanted the people going into the promised land always to pass the knowledge of God and His love, grace, and mercy to the younger generations.

Our lives are more significant than just what and who we are during our time on this earth. There is always a younger generation coming up that we influence for good or bad. We should always pass down the great blessings that God has bestowed upon us to the next generation. If we fail this mission, then the knowledge of God and His love, grace, and mercy could skip a generation or, even worse, two or more generations.

We should let our children and their children know of the valleys we’ve come through with the hand of God guiding us. If we continue to hold up holy hands, some young minds will ask why we are doing that. If we praise God in our church services, some young people will ask: What does that mean? So, we should tell the younger generation about God before the followers of Satan move in. Let us all leave a record that states that we loved the Lord. Moreover, He is our everything and the only way to salvation and eternal life.
