The Greatest Generational Failure
In Judges 2 we witness the regret of a nation. They had not fulfilled God's instructions so He comes to them and says that is it. The clock has expired and you no longer have the opportunity to correct the error to make things right. The generation of people in Judges 2 failed at the most important job they had in life as worshipers of God. They failed to demonstrate their faith openly enough and consistently enough to secure their own children. We must remember that our time here on earth is very limited and we must use it wisely. God has given us a great deal of responsibility for transferring truth to our children and loved ones in such a way that they not only know about the Lord, but that they know the Lord. God has given us the precious and temporary gift of time to secure our people for an eternity together. Don't let it slip away.
