Scripture:
”The people of Israel served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him—those who had personally experienced all that the Lord had done for Israel.“ Joshua 24:31 NLT
Observation:
This verse points out that God’s people served Him throughout the generations who saw His miraculous intervention. Those who saw His mighty deeds in Egypt, the wilderness, and in defeating Israel’s enemies in the Promised Land, followed Him wholeheartedly, but those who never saw firsthand began to stray.
Application:
Every generation needs a move of God. Every generation needs to see a great outpouring of the Spirit. If not, we see a turning away. It is those who have a personal and powerful encounter with the Lord who follow Him the rest of their days. We need to see God move in this generation. Our children and grandchildren need to see the power of God and not just hear stories of the past. We must demonstrate to the next generation that God is who He says He is and that He is real and powerful. Every generation needs a personal encounter with God Almighty.
Prayer:
Father, pour out Your Spirit on my generation. Move powerfully on the earth and let this generation see Your powerful right arm. Let me never live on the stories of yesterday, but on what You are doing today. Let my life be a demonstration to the world that You are who You say You are. Let the people I serve and minister to have a personal encounter with You that the enemy can never deny.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
