Grace for your spirit July 29, 2008

These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. "You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. Deut 6:6-7

From the beginning, God had two specific plans for all of us. First, we are all called to obey God’s will. Secondly, we are directed to pass that faithfulness on to the next generation. We must teach His word, instruct in the faithful traditions and instill a heritage of faithfulness to our families. The Jews failed on both counts. For that, they lost their blessings, their freedom, their land, and missed their Messiah. We’ve all heard the phrase "use it or lose it". As it applies to the following God, if we don’t pass it on, it will be lost too. We have been blessed with someone paving the way for us. It’s time to take that mission seriously. Our race is really a relay race. Don’t miss the pass to the next runner.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
