Ecclesiastes 1:4 KJV
One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

Joshua 1:1-2 KJV
Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, [2] Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

James 4:14 KJV
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

This past week has been an heart wrenching week. The news has been filled with violence and hatred of mankind. It has been reported this week that a refugee last month was stabbed to death. It has also been on the news this week of a school shooting and also the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a well-respected Christian among young people and even adults.

When I heard about Charlie, one thing I thought of was who was going to fill his shoes? One thing is for sure someone will fill your shoes one day, and we must train and equip them to stand right when they fill your shoes.

The Bible is very clear that our life is short, and we must do what we can while we can.

Moses died, and God looked at Joshua and said there was much land to be conquered.

We can look at the death of Charlie and just dwell on what all he did, or we can say there's more to be done for the glory of God.

You and I will never do great things for God sitting in our lazy boys at home. We must not be mechanics. We must be messengers

May we ever be investing in the young people because they will be filling our shoes one day.

Who is going to fill your shoes?
