Isaiah 61:4-6
And they shall rebuild the old ruins, They shall raise up the former desolations, And they shall repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations. Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, And the sons of the foreigner shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. But you shall be named the priests of the LORD, They shall call you the servants of our God. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, And in their glory you shall boast.
Every generation is a fruit and a seed. It is the product of the seeds sown before it and it contains the seeds of what comes next. Generations of neglect can add up, but it cannot negate the seed. It can sow itself to the wind, but it can't keep from being seed.
Isaiah 61:9
And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
Generations flood the nations and the regenerate are a germination. Desolate grounds can be turned around. As a generation dies to itself and like wheat falls to the ground, it gives way to seeds which begin to change the entire landscape.
Isaiah 65:23
They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.
The hard work of good works will be rewarded. Just as God's Word will not come back void, so good works done in the Lord will not go down without coming back thirty, sixty, or even hundredfold.
Isaiah 66:22
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
A man whose name is in the Lamb's Book of Life will care about his namesake in the Lamb's Land of the Living. Our seeds contain seeds. Our children contain our grandchildren. Nations are living in your loins. Generations are sleeping across the hall. So, let us sow in hope what we have reaped in receiving and keep the party alive forever.
