Deuteronomy 30:19-20
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days.
You'd be amazed at the pace of events that can occur from one single act of obedience. Even more so, a string of obedient events. Families are put on different paths. Where you may come from a broken home, with no strong role models, and a lack of guidance. Somehow, you finding your way, can help ensure that generations after you never have to search as hard to find theirs.
Our world desperately needs to see more examples of a faithful generation, because some don't believe that it's possible. We need folks astute enough to recognize the plight their family lineage is in, but humble enough to realize that only through seeking God and figuring out His way, can generational curses and challenges be removed. Husbands and fathers who decide that no longer will households of children in their family grow up unaware of God and the virtues of faith. Marriages that determine that the cycle of poverty, low educational achievement, crime, fatherless, and poor life outcomes for children that often result in broken homes will be reversed because they will learn to do things the right way.
Yea, I'm advocating that there is a right way. It's clearly stated in the bible. It's something we Christians often shy away from, but the simple fact is, it's our wholehearted belief. It's time we stop trying to prove others wrong, and instead focus on proving God right by living life as He intended for us to live. So to the husbands and fathers, wives and mothers out there, I challenge you to seek God and discover your role in establishing a faithful generation.
