Today I Learnd Truth In Love
Reaching All Generations With The Truth
Reaching Gen Z with the Absolute Truth of God’s Word:
A Call to Share the Eternal Message In a rapidly changing world, where social media trends, technological advancements, and cultural shifts often redefine values, one truth remains unchanging: God’s Word, the Bible. As Christians, we are called to pass on this truth to the next generation, ensuring they experience the transformative power of God’s message.
Psalm 145:4-9 beautifully captures this responsibility: "One generation shall praise thy works to another and shall declare thy mighty acts. I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty and wondrous works. And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. They shall abundantly utter the memory of their great goodness and sing of their righteousness. The LORD is gracious and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy."
Understanding Gen Z: A Unique Opportunity Generation Z, born roughly between 1997 and 2012, is marked by curiosity, digital savviness, and a hunger for authenticity. They live in a world of information overload but are keenly aware of the gaps in meaning and purpose left by secular ideologies. This generation yearns for truth that transcends temporary trends, and as Christians, we have the opportunity to present them with the timeless, unshakable truth of God’s Word. Declaring God’s Mighty Acts Psalm 145:4 reminds us that faith is generational: “One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.”
Reaching Gen Z requires us to tell the stories of God’s faithfulness from Scripture and our lives. Sharing personal testimonies, recounting biblical miracles, and highlighting God’s hand in history allows young people to see how His greatness transcends time. Speaking of His Majesty and Compassion In verses 5-8, the psalmist proclaims God’s glorious majesty and His abundant mercy: "I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty and wondrous works... The LORD is gracious and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy." Gen Z’s emphasis on compassion aligns with the character of God described here. Highlighting how God’s Word calls us to love others and show mercy resonates deeply with their values. At the same time, pointing them to the source of this love—God Himself—anchors their passion in eternal truth rather than fleeting ideologies.
Practical Steps for Reaching Gen Z
Leverage Digital Platforms: Gen Z spends much of their time online. Using platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube to share Scripture, create engaging content, and tell stories of God’s greatness ensures the message reaches where they are. Encourage Real Conversations: Be willing to listen to their questions and doubts. Gen Z values authenticity, so open and honest discussions about faith are essential. Model a Living Faith: Actions speak louder than words. Let them see the transformative power of God’s Word in your life. Demonstrating grace, compassion, and integrity provides a tangible example of God’s truth in action. Create Community: Gen Z desires connection. Church groups, Bible studies, and service projects tailored to their interests can foster a sense of belonging while grounding them in God’s Word.
Singing of His Righteousness Psalm 145:7 calls us to “sing of [God’s] righteousness.” Worship through music, art, and creativity resonates deeply with this generation. Encouraging them to express their faith in ways that utilize their unique gifts bridges the gap between ancient truth and contemporary culture.
Conclusion: A Gracious God for a Searching Generation Gen Z’s hunger for authenticity and purpose is an open door for the gospel. As we declare God’s mighty acts, speak of His majesty, and model His compassion, we fulfill the call of Psalm 145:4-9. Let us intentionally reach this generation with the absolute truth of God’s Word, knowing that His message is as relevant and transformative today as it has always been. The Lord’s mercy and grace extend to all generations, and we are privileged to carry His truth to the next. May we embrace this mission with passion and faithfulness, trusting in the power of God’s Word to change hearts and lives forever.

Day 135 Through The Bible
Day 135: Honoring God’s Design for Authority—Including Women in Leadership
One of the most powerful truths in Scripture is that God establishes authority, and He does so according to His purposes—not ours. As we consider the role of leadership in God's Kingdom, we must open our hearts to the reality that God places women in authority roles, and this is not merely a footnote in history—it’s a bold declaration of His sovereign will.
Biblical Principle: God’s Use of Women in Governmental Authority
In Judges 4:1–9, we meet Deborah, a prophetess and judge of Israel. This wasn’t symbolic leadership—she exercised real, God-given authority over the people of Israel. She settled disputes, gave counsel, and, most notably, was chosen by God to lead Israel in a great crisis.
“And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah … and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.” (Judges 4:5)
Deborah didn’t just lead in peaceful times—she was instrumental in military victory. When Barak hesitated to go to battle without her, she didn’t rebuke him for his weakness; instead, she reassured him that the victory was certain but reminded him that the glory would go to a woman (Judges 4:9). God had already written the outcome. He had written Deborah into His story as a key player in that victory.
This passage clearly shows that God doesn’t hesitate to elevate women to high places of influence and leadership when it aligns with His divine plan. In a culture often marked by patriarchal norms, Deborah’s leadership was not an exception—it was a deliberate choice by God to fulfill His purposes through her.
Practical Application: Honoring and Praying for All Authorities
In 1 Timothy 2:1–4, Paul instructs believers to offer prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving for all people—especially those in authority. Why? So that we may live peaceable, godly, and honest lives, and ultimately, so that all may be saved and come to know the truth.
“For kings, and for all that are in authority … For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour.” (1 Timothy 2:2–3)
When we refuse to honor or pray for those in authority—whether male or female, whether they align with our preferences or not—we risk opposing God's purposes. Deborah reminds us that God can and does work through women, even at the highest levels of authority.
If God has appointed someone to lead, our response should be obedience, support, and intercession, not resistance based on gender or tradition.
Reflection: The Bigger Picture of God’s Plan
Too often, we limit God’s work by imposing human assumptions on divine decisions. But the Bible offers no apologies for Deborah’s role. She wasn’t a backup plan—God's chosen leader for that season.
As believers today, we must:
Recognize that God uses both men and women for His glory.
Honor the leaders He places in authority over us.
Pray for them faithfully, understanding that their success can open the door for others to come to salvation and truth.
Let us embrace the fullness of God’s plan, trusting that He knows best who should lead—and when. If God appointed Deborah, then who are we to argue with His choice?
Prayer for Today:
Lord, help us honor all You place in authority, regardless of gender. Teach us to pray earnestly for our leaders and trust Your leadership design. May we, like Deborah, be ready to lead with courage when called, and may we always support those who carry the mantle of responsibility for Your glory. Amen.
