“Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.  Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away” (Mark 13:30-31).

This generation is the generation of rebellion.  The next generation will be of the redeemed and the condemned.  You were first born with flesh and blood.  Through Christ, you are reborn children of the Heavenly Father with your spirit alive.  The source of all things is God.  Through Him, all things have their being.  His words shall never pass away.  What we know of this generation shall pass away, but what He is doing is forever.

Lord, I do not understand all these things, but I do not need to.  You have given me the words of eternal life and in You, I have hope.  Hearing that Your word shall not pass away, helps me to focus upon this better portion which You have given me.  Guide me in all goodness to live by the word You have given me.  Life will happen in and around me, but You are with me and know the outcome of all these things.

Lord Jesus, Your word is a terror to those who will not believe, but a comfort to me, for I know all things are in Your hands.  Guide me in the way of life which prepares me to be with You forever.  Help me to see through the darkness of this age to abide in the light You shine in order that I may better understand.  I have life in You, Jesus.  Help me to live for the eternal life You have given me, abiding in You, the Word made flesh.  Amen.
