If you are a parent or grandparent, I wonder how you have handled the frustration which occurs when you have spoken truth and wisdom to your children or grandchildren but they ignored what you’ve said? They rolled their eyes and perhaps even told you that you’re out of touch with reality or the challenges they face in life cannot be met with the solutions from previous generations?
What makes it worse, of course, is when they find themselves in a mess because they disregarded your warning and wisdom and you know full well their disaster could have been averted if they had only taken heed of your warning and wisdom. Have you ever considered THAT is exactly the place God finds Himself with His people so often when He warns us and we disregard or even ignore God?
