Dear Generation X...or Y...or Z...

What is God's message to each successive generation? I'm glad you asked. It's quite simple really, given to us in Ps. 78.7. Each generation should:
1. Set its hope anew on God - Which is to say, realize that whatever one feels about the environment or politics or war or the other hot button issues of the day, the ultimate answer to every problem of society and Man is for each generation to set its hope anew on God.
2. Do not forget his glorious miracles - What God has done in the past gives us hope, strength, and courage to persevere in the difficulties of our lives/generations. Never forget the past, O Generation X, Y, Z never forget all that God has done for his people.
3. Obey his commands - This sounds so easy, but its not so easy, we tend to prevaricate, to hedge, to fudge God's commands and turn them into our own policies as filtered through our hearts (aka idol factories). We must obey God's commands.

Prayer: O Lord God, may my generation do these three things, while not forgetting the 4th, to pass on a passion for God to the next generation. Do thou, O Lord, raise up the next generation that follows mine to have no other god, but you alone.
