I share a scripture verse that lays out a wonderful plan that will have an impact for generations to come. I read from Ruth 4:16-17. Pray over your children and your grandchildren and so on. Who knows what the plans and purposes the Lord has for your bloodline?

When the Lord enters the situation, the focus is no longer on trying to make sure the Lord is on your side - it then becomes are you with the Lord? I look at a famous section of scripture that explores this very thought. Found in Joshua 5:13 - 14
