A Prayer for the Next Generation to Be Amazed by God

📖 Bible Verse: Judges 2:10b (CSB) “…After them another generation rose up who did not know the Lord or the works he had done for Israel.”

✨ Devotional Overview:

Today’s devotional is a call to action for every believer: to stir up awe, wonder, and faith in the hearts of the next generation. Megan Evans shares the powerful story of an 11-year-old girl who had never heard of Adam and Eve—an unforgettable reminder that biblical illiteracy is real, even in our own communities.

Evans draws a stark contrast between the days of Joshua—when God's works were told and remembered—and the generational drift that followed. Her reflection on Judges 2:10 reminds us that faith fades when it is not shared, and that it's our responsibility to pass on the truth, love, and power of God to those coming after us.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Many children today have no foundational knowledge of the Bible or God’s love.

• The Bible warns what happens when generations forget God’s works and character.

• We must live out our faith openly, talking about what God has done in our lives.

• It is never too late or too small to begin making an eternal impact.

• Teaching the next generation is not optional—it's part of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19).

📣 Reflection Challenge:

• Who in your life—child, teen, or adult—might need to hear about Jesus for the first time?

• Are there ways you can intentionally disciple someone younger in faith?

• Are you praying for and walking in boldness to speak of God’s mighty works?

📚 Related Scriptures:

• Psalm 78:4, 6-7 – “…We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord…”

• Matthew 28:19 – “Go and make disciples of all nations…”

• Deuteronomy 6:6-7 – “Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home…”

🙌 Final Encouragement:

Don’t underestimate the power of your voice. One story, one verse, one seed planted in love can grow a harvest of faith in a child’s life. Be the one to tell. Be the one to teach. Be the one to stir awe.
