“And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.”
Judges 2:10 KJV
Eventually, after that entire generation died and was buried, the next generation forgot Yahweh and all that He had done for Israel. They forgot the wonders in the wilderness, the manna, the split-open rock that gave them water. Then later, they failed to remember the Jordan miraculously parting, the walls of Jericho falling down, the sun standing still, the empowerment of God conquering their foes, and the many miracles of Yahweh under Joshua’s leadership. How easy it is for the second generation of any movement to forget the truth and power of the first generation. We enshrine the memories of the past but fail to apply the power present today to advance in the ways of God. Many, today, may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality they want nothing to do with God’s power. Stay away from people like these! Let’s remember the miracles God does for us in Christ and move in the power of God today and tell it to the next generation also. Amen!
