This scripture transcends all time and applies not only to the Hebrew people but to Christians today as well.
“So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; DO NOT TURN ASIDE TO THE LEFT OR TO THE RIGHT. Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will posses.” Deuteronomy 5:32.
Sooooooo———-
“—The people served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the Lord had done for Israel.” Judges 2:7.
But time passed and———What one generation accepts, the next generation embraces.
“After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the Lord nor what He had done for Israel–” Judges 2:10.
They forgot—————–
The only way the next generation can remain faithful is for us to believe in God’s Almighty power and for us to pass this belief on to our children and grandchildren.
“Do not turn to the right or to the left.…” This doesn’t leave much wiggle room!
I pray we will not be the generation that grew up and forgot to pass it on.
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
