Wow does this sound familiar?

I was reading this proverb this morning and it never ceases to amaze me how alive God's Word is for today!



Proverbs 30:11-14

11 There is a generation that curses its father,

And does not bless its mother.

12 There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,

Yet is not washed from its filthiness.

13 There is a generation—oh, how lofty are their eyes!

And their eyelids are lifted up.

14 There is a generation whose teeth are like swords,

And whose fangs are like knives,

To devour the poor from off the earth,

And the needy from among men.



There has never been a time in America in which young folks are more disrespectful to their parents. Now don't get me wrong I am not saying all youth but much more than in my youth! It floors me to see how some youth talk to their parents! Is this the generation this proverb is talking about? As verse 12 states we live in a time where everything is ok. We are pure in our own eyes. We do not care what God's Word says..as long as everyone else is doing it it is ok!!! Many claim to be Christians but if we are not washed by the blood of Christ we are not cleansed from our filthiness. Verse 13 continues on to say how great we are in our own eyes. We think we have all the answers to all questions, but without Jesus we are dumb and know nothing. Then verse 14 speaks to our cut-throat society. We are all about self. Don't get in our way because we will trample over you. We are not worried about the less fortunate. God is clear in His Word that he desires us to be humble not proud. God wants us to help those less fortunate than us and we had better not think we are better than anyone!!!



Wow do these verses sound familiar this morning. Pray for this nation of ours...that we would have a revival.....a turn back to God!
