What are you doing for your generation

Last night we had a prayer meeting. One of the men who joined us was not a believer but it appears the Spirit is working in his life. My text was Psalm 78. This is a text that God put on my heart when I went to the 'Our Generation Summit' in 2004. There is a new Turkish film that tells the story of the men who built the first Turkish car. They had only 4 months to do so. They didn't have a factory or even the new technology of that day. They built this car and even today's generation knows this story. I thought about this and how these men worked so hard to finish the job they had to do. They did all this for something that will not matter in eternity. In Psalm 78 the writer tells the people to tell of God's wondrous works so that the generation to come might not be as the previous generation. The first generation that left Egypt was a faithless generation(Hebrews 3:10). The generation that Joshua led into Canaan was a fighting generation. Though not totally obedient they trusted God and drove out the inhabitants of Canaan. The crazy thing is that in Judges 2:10 you find that the next generation was a generation that forgot God. How can this be? There fathers saw God do so many great things. Do you want the generation of the future to set their hope in God? They need to hear of the wonderful works of our great God. That also means that we need God working in our lives so that we have something to tell future generations.
