Your Generation – Part 2

An Encouraging Word for Your Generation

Part 2 of the encouraging words I received in July. I prayed about when to release them. They speak to almost every decade of our adult lives. I hope you will find inspiration and edification when you read about the decade you are currently in.

FORTIES AND FIFTIES

According to the world, you are in the prime years of your life. You have learned much, and you are seeing your families raised. Many of you are becoming grandparents. You have homes, routines, jobs, careers, and ministries. These are good things but remain “separate from worldly attitudes and positions.

God would encourage you to not become “too busy” — just because the opportunity is there. Check with Him first.

Raise your children in His ways.

But before aligning yourself with a worldly political cause, seek the Lord. You can most make a difference in these decades — but be discerning. Don’t fall for the “party” line, and do not fall for the opposition’s line.

Pray and discern. This is especially important to you during these decades. Research it out — listen to both viewpoints. Discern who is telling the truth. Deception is rampant.

Be blessed and continually fruitful. Yes, your responsibilities are many right now — and you seek a day when they will be lifted. Enjoy these years. They will not come again.
