“So the next generation might know them – even the children not yet born – and they in turn will teach their own children.” (Psalm 78:6, NLT)
God’s ways are taught through His children. One generation learns them from the generation before them.
Your responsibility as a Christian woman is to pass on the ways of the Lord to those who come after you. Whether or not you have your own children, you have the opportunity to influence the next generation for Jesus. Consider today how you will do this. If you are already well on your way in doing so, ask God to continue to reveal how you can ensure the next generation knows and follows hard after Him.
Prayer: Lord, I want to be salt and light to the next generation of believers. Help me be a positive model of what it means to be a Christian woman. Amen.

Happy Mother’s Day to you all!
Thank you, Joanne. I wasn’t blessed with flesh & blood children of my own, but I have step-granddaughters. Lord, help me be a salt & light woman to them.
Julie, we are salt & light women to many that we may not even be aware of at the time. He will surely help us be more than we could ever be on our own!
