Better Than My Fathers?

God desires that traditions of faith be passed from generation to generation.

Either by writing to them or teaching so that the knowledge of Him might be preserved throughout all generations.

David and Solomon were examples of men that wrote about God and His ways to their children. We still follow those instructions today.

My son, hear the instruction of thy father and forsake not the law of thy mother: Pro. 1 vs 8.

Paul also wrote to his many sons in the faith, he wrote to Timothy, Philemon, Titus, and others.

All of God’s general that have died in our time and those that are still alive all experienced the God of the Bible and tried to show Him to this millennial generation but I doubt if we got their message as our focus is not in the” intangibles” (spiritual things) but the tangibles.

The desire to be a public figure, to be worshipped thus becoming a god in our generation has clouded our minds from desiring the true God of our fathers.

Except God has left for Himself a remnant we would have been without help.

The Millennial hardly have time for themselves not to talk of sitting down to teach their children about God.

In this generation, it seems everyone is busy with one thing or the other.

Everyone is on the street and everyone is online, nobody has the time to sit, we all want to be seen and heard without sitting to hear from others.

All our core responsibility as parents has been outsourced: drop the kids at the crèche at 40days, drop them in children’s church and never check what is being taught, have no time to sit with them. Take them on vacation to visit the world yet no time to tell them about the word.

“This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob” Ps 24:6.

That was David presenting his generation to God, a feat beyond what his father did to him.

He was indeed better than his father for being able to present his seed as a seeking generation to God.

Who will train this Gen Z the way of the Lord?

Who will teach them words of the Lord?

A new generation that was never taught but allowed to grow up alone without being fathered?

Who will instruct them?

What experience of God do we have in our walk with God that we can share with the next generation? Which will be a ground to stand on by our children to trust God the more.?

Are you teaching your children about God and His ways?

Do you have time for them? You know in your heart what it should be? Or your conscience has died and adjusted with the social trend?

Children are not distractions they are the human lives entrusted into our care by God. Will you fail on this assignment?

I want to be better than my fathers in raising a generation of God-seekers.

You are Loved!
