Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. Psalm 127:3
But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” Matthew 19:14
I love this quote………
The famed British Evangelist Gipsy Smith used to ask his audience, “Do you really want to see a revival begin?” When the people said yes, Gipsy replied, “Then go back to your home and draw a circle around you on the floor. Then get down on your knees in the middle of the circle and ask God to convert everybody inside that circle. When you do that, and God answers, you are experiencing the start of revival.”
Why do we allow this continued tragedy in New Mexico? How do we expect God to bless this state? Abortions, Child abuse, and Child poverty. We abuse God’s children. I know these are tough words but I beleive them with all my heart and souls, we are all guilty of allowing this to take place.
We allow the killing of God’s babies through abortion and we also allow our children to live in poverty with the threat of being abused. We read and hear of all the children being abused every month in our state. We also having a failed education system here. We also have a horrible suicide rate, alcohol and drug problem that many of our children are brought into.
Many grandparents are raising their grandchildren as families have been ripped apart by Satan through divorce.
We must be people of God in all things, we must be Biblical people. We are failing God in many ways as a state.
Church attendance in New Mexico is put at anywhere between 15 and 20 percent.
How can we expect to ever have a thriving, Godly state?
I have come to comfort the inflicted in the work assigned me by my LORD, I have come to inflict the comfortable.
It does not make me happy to have to report this news. It breaks my heart.
The Albuquerque Journal is reporting this morning that New Mexico leads the nation with the most children under age 5 living in poverty.
Why New Mexico? This question is for us all to pray on! Why do we allow this?
I know by writing things like this I will never be a popular preacher, but this is what God has me do…..to be a watchman on the wall for HIM. I don’t do high school pep rallies.
“The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with him. But our culture doesn’t measure success this way. It rewards activism, busyness, haste, and hard work. What our culture doesn’t understand is that we can do nothing significant for God until we have been with God. Only when we are empowered by his Spirit can we advance his Kingdom.” -Oswald Chambers
“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, I ought to do. What I ought to do, by the grace of God, I will do.” —D. L. Moody
…2Hear this, O elders, And listen, all inhabitants of the land. Has anything like this happened in your days Or in your fathers’ days? 3Tell your sons about it, And let your sons tell their sons, And their sons the next generation. 4What the gnawing locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; And what the swarming locust has left, the creeping locust has eaten; And what the creeping locust has left, the stripping locust has eaten.…
and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your grandson, how I made a mockery of the Egyptians and how I performed My signs among them, that you may know that I am the LORD.”

We will not conceal them from their children, But tell to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, And His strength and His wondrous works that He has done.
Tell you your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.

Verse 3. – Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. The prophet thus draws attention to the event which be is about to relate, or rather predict, a8 a calamity unknown in the memory of living men, unheard of in the days of their fathers, unparalleled in the past experience of their nation, and one affecting all the inhabitants of the land. He challenges the old men whose memory went furthest back, and whose experience had been longest and largest, to confirm his statements; he calls on the inhabitants of the land to consider an event in which they were all concerned, and to recognize the hand of God in a disaster in which all would be involved. But, though the visitation with which they are threatened had had no precedent or parallel among the generation then present, or that which preceded it, or for many long years before, it was not to remain without memorial or record in the time to come. To this end the prophet commands his countrymen of Judah to relate it to their children, to their grandchildren, and even to their great-grand-children. The expression reminds us of Virgil’s –
“Yea, sons of sons, and those who shall from them be born.” It reads like a reminiscence of what is recorded of one of the plagues – the plague of locusts – in Egypt, of which we read in Exodus 10:6, “Which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day they were upon the earth unto this day;” while the direction to have it transmitted by tradition seems an echo of what we read in the second verse of the same chapter: “That thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt.” Similarly, it is written in Psalm 78:5, 6, “He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: that the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children.” The solemn manner in which the prophet draws attention to this by “Hear,” “Give ear,” and the earnestness with which he insists on the record of it being handed on from generation to generation, are intended to impress on the people the work of God in this visitation, its severity, the sin that caused it, and the call to repentance conveyed by it.
Tell ye your children of it,…. Give them a particular account of it; describe the creatures and their number as near as you can; say when they begun and how long they continued, and what devastations they made, and what was the cause and reason of such a judgment, your sins and transgressions:
and let your children tell their children, and their children other generation; or, “to the generation following” (l); let it be handed down from one generation to another that it may be a caution to future posterity how they behave and lest they bring down the like awful judgments on them. What this referred to was as follows:
(l) “posteritati sequenti”, Vatablus; “generationi posterae”, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Tarnovius.
3. Tell ye your children—in order that they may be admonished by the severity of the punishment to fear God (Ps 78:6-8; compare Ex 13:8; Jos 4:7).
1:1-7 The most aged could not remember such calamities as were about to take place. Armies of insects were coming upon the land to eat the fruits of it. It is expressed so as to apply also to the destruction of the country by a foreign enemy, and seems to refer to the devastations of the Chaldeans. God is Lord of hosts, has every creature at his command, and, when he pleases, can humble and mortify a proud, rebellious people, by the weakest and most contemptible creatures. It is just with God to take away the comforts which are abused to luxury and excess; and the more men place their happiness in the gratifications of sense, the more severe temporal afflictions are upon them. The more earthly delights we make needful to satisfy us, the more we expose ourselves to trouble.
