These verses have had me thinking quite a bit over the past week…

Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of a hundred and ten. 9 And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Heres in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. 10 After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the LORD nor what he had done for Israel. (Judges 2:8-10)

Rather than being an indictment on the public speaking (or lack thereof) of God’s works in the life of a nation - I have thought about them in the context of my own family.  I wonder how often I neglect the opportunity to speak life, truth, and the goodness of God into the lives of my own girls?  Of all the opportunities I have had in the past and/or will have in the future - this is one that I definitely can’t afford to miss.
