Scripture: Judges 2:10 After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the LORD nor what he had done for Israel. (NIV)
Nugget: Many of us have grandparents, mothers, fathers, aunts, etc. who have impacted our lives & our Christian walk. These people have taught us everything they know about the Lord; instilling in us the lessons they’ve learned in order for us to know all that God has done & all that He’s able to do.
However, there are many who do not take heed to the teachings & lessons of their ancestors; they walk away from these teachings, not knowing the true impact God has had & His will.
Don’t take for granted the generations of ancestors who’ve gone before us in the Christian walk; these individuals are some of our best sources of information in order to continue on our Christian journey. They laid the foundation in order for us to continue on.
Quote: “Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children.” -Billy Graham
