From generation to generation

So Brian and I are in Nashville right now. We are here for the National Youth Workers Convention which has been really cool. It could actually require its own post. I will say though that it's amazing to see thousands (like 8,000) people joining together to impact the lives of young people. So thinking about that, God has been showing me how we could be changing the lives of people not even born yet! God has a plan for everyone and isn't it amazing that he would use us to affect the lives of others? The lives of teenagers, people suffering, our children, our chidren's children, etc.

Tonight we visited a wonderful church that we have visited before in Brentwood. They had a night of worship. During the worship, the worship leader took a moment to ask us all to sing a prayer over our children and even for the generations to come.

"There is no one like our God, there is no one like our God.
For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this city.
Greater things have yet to come
and greater things are still to be done in this city."

We don't know what God has planned but we know it's going to be great because His plans for us are for our good. Let's think about what we are depositing into the lives of the people around us that is going to last...forever.


" We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders." -Psalm 78:4

"This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD." - Psalm 102:18
