Scripture
Judges 2:10, 3:2
After that whole generation had been gathered to there fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the Lord nor what He had done for Israel.

(He did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience)

Observation
The group of people who had witnessed the power of God so greatly failed to teach their children about it. They did not pass down a legacy of God's power. God needed to teach them Himself by causing them to also be in need of Him.

Application
It is so important for me to continue to teach my children and grand children about the wonders of God. Make sure that they have the opportunity to experience God's power for themselves. Even by allowing them to go through their own hard times. This is how we all learn to trust in God.

Prayer
God, I ask that you keep my descendants as your disciples. Help me to teach them your ways and allow you to show your power to them. Let them grow to be mighty men and women of valor. Amen
