I Kings 12-16
Do you ever wonder what your decisions will mean for your immediate family or maybe your future family? Do you ever wonder what influence you will have on the future generations of your family?

It makes me wonder how much I listen to the words of wisdom of those who have gone before and are older. Make sure that you make godly decisions each day because you never know how you will influence all of the generations after you. Just look at what happens after Rehoboam makes this terrible decision.
