On the top of a hill the young troops were gathering together for battle.

In the distance, the enemy was gathered in rank and grouped in tight formation.

One of the young warriors looked ready, but overwhelmed. In his eye's the enemy looked like he had it more together than the young warrior did. But the young warriors were ready for battle.

Then one of the old Generals came up to the young warrior, and started to speak to him making gestures with his hands and pointing at the troops. I couldn't hear what they we saying and I asked the Lord what's going on? He spoke to me and said "The young warriors are eager to get into the battle, but they did not quite know how to win this battle; but the old Generals know how to win battles." The old warriors know how to win battles and the young warriors have strength, zeal and time. The young need to hear, and the old need to be willing to teach the next generation. If we both do not do our parts we will fail in what the Lord has for the next generation.

Psalm 145:4-7
4-One generation shall praise Your works to another, and declare Your mighty acts.
5-I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty and on Your wondrous works,
6-men shall speak of the might of your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness
7-They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness and shall sing of Your righteousness.

Malachi 4:6
And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to the fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with acurse.

Psalm 78:4-8.
4-We will not hide [them] from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
5-For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children.
6-That the generation to come might know [them, even] the children [which] should be born; [who] should arise and declare [them] to their children.
7-That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.
8-And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation [that] set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
