“And the Israelites served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and the leaders who outlived him—those who had seen all the great things the Lord had done for Israel.”
Judges 2:7 NLT
Observation:
The Israelites who had seen the hand of God and the power of God served Him all of their lives, but the next generation, who had not witnessed the power of God, served other gods. Those who have had a real power encounter with God and seen Him generally serve Him all of their lives, but if their kids don’t see God move, they will fall away.
Application:
Each generation needs a move of God. Each generation needs to see the hand of God and the power of God or they will stray away. America has had a couple great awakenings, where God’s power moved mightily throughout the nation. Those generations turned to the Lord, but eventually the spiritual fervor moved out and people began to compromise with the enemy. Our generation needs a powerful move of God that will shake people to their core. We need another great awakening.
Prayer:
Father, pour out Your Spirit in the United States. Let this generation see Your great and awesome power. Demonstrate Your goodness and Your strength until the world sees who You are and serve You completely. I ask You to work in and through my life. Let people truly encounter You and never walk away.
Your Son,
Jeff
