Does the Bible Speak to GENERATION Z & ALPHA? | What You Should Be Doing Now!

Youth is a wonderful thing! Who wouldn’t love to have it back once it has passed? Looking back the years seem to move slower, the days last longer, the sun shines brighter and the memories sweeter. Time, as one remembers, seems to move in slow motion while as we age the years turn to decades, and the decades roll by faster than we can process them. When times were harder for our grandparents and great-grandparents perhaps the hard realities of life moved in sooner and at younger ages. The many technological advances in the modern era have brought with it a sort of false reality or a false sense of security. Children aren’t as to work in coal mines, factories, or farms while being deprived of nurture, education, and a childhood. This is a good thing; there is no question. But, there can be a dark side to it and that is this false sense of security. This produces in the younger generations an expectation or a misunderstanding of the nature of life itself. Younger generations can fall into thinking that they have plenty of time to take life seriously. That the hardships that one hears about will not come knocking on their door. That life is more like an amusement park than a battlefield perhaps, or a wilderness farm. In other words, allow me to encourage the up-and-coming generations like Generation Z and Generation Alpha to start living for God’s glory as young as you understand these words. This is the message weighing heavily on Solomon’s heart as he brings his musings to a close. He is concerned for the young. He cares for them. He desires for them to have a life that can be found in God alone. He worries that they will miss these truths and waste so much of their lives before they realize that they have a Creator with Whom they need to be reconciled.
