Psalms 78: 6-8

Transcript

“That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born, That they may arise and tell them to their children, That they should put their confidence in God And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments, And not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not prepare its heart And whose spirit was not faithful to God.”

Psalms 78:6-8 NASB1995

Looking at verses 6-8. I am amazed at God’s sovereignty. (I should not be for all the amazing things He has done, is doing and will continue to do). Nevertheless, Even with all the discord and strife God is working for the good for those who love Him and called according to His purpose.

I don’t think that it is a very big jump to say that the overturning of Roe v Wade is a manifestation of verse 6 “That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born…” Therefore, if God can reverse the course of the abortion law during this lawless, wicked and deceitful generation then He can and will be able to reverse the course of the overwhelming wickedness in other areas as well.

All we have to do is be willing to lay down our own selfishness and pick up the graciousness of God’s mercy and peace. For as God says through Paul in his letter to the Philippians:

“Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4:5-7 NASB1995

Let’s focus on God’s work and be the resilient people that He has called us to be, working for Him to change peoples hearts, souls and minds. Turning them to Him the author and perfecter of our faith.

Lord, thank you for your marvelous works. Thank you for working good into the midst of evil. Help us to trust in you and do your will with Your; grace, peace and love so that generations may be changed. We pray these things in Jesus Name Amen…

Blessings and Press In and Press On!
