Today’s Reading: Exodus 12; Exodus 13; Psalm 21; Acts 1
Scripture: Exodus 13:14 "In days to come, when your son asks you, 'What does this mean?' say to him, 'With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
Observation: I notice this emphasis on the explanations given to the young people of Israel in the future.
Application: The Lord wants us to be thinking about what we are doing as it affects those who come after us, our children and grandchildren. Our actions and decisions have long term effects far beyond ourselves.
Prayer: Lord, help us to be aware that everything we do has greater consequences that we may know. May be do right so that those who come after us can be blessed.
This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.

I do think it is important to live as consistently as possible (given our propensity to sin)and to explain why we believe as we do to our young people. We need to do this even when it seems they aren't listening orwhen they are but don't seem to care. God can bring it to their minds and hearts later.
