A Reminder for the Generations!

This morning I did staff devotions at Emmanuel Christian School and we started with this quiz.

What is the generation name for the following birth years?  (The answers are at the end of this post)
  1. Born 1996 and later.
  2. Born 1977 to 1995.
  3. Born 1965 to 1976.
  4. Born 1946 to 1964.
  5. Born 1925 to 1945
  6. Born 1910 - 1924

For the Bible devotional, I used this week's Fighter Verses
Psalm 103:15 - 17.

As for man, his days are like grasshe flourishes like a flower of the field;for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,and its place knows it no more.But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear himand his righteousness to children's children,
The reference to man's days being so short is is not merely to remind men how short life is 
EVEN MORE SO it meant to remind us of how AWESOME our God is!

You can see this clearer when you read Psalm 103:1-17.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,and all that is within me,bless his holy name!Bless the Lord, O my soul,and forget not all his benefits,who forgives all your iniquitywho heals all your diseases,who redeems your life from the pitwho crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,who satisfies you with goodso that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.The Lord works righteousnessand justice for all who are oppressed.He made known his ways to Moseshis acts to the people of Israel.The Lord is merciful and gracious,slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.He will not always chidennor will he keep his anger forever.He does not deal with us according to our sinsnor repay us according to our iniquities.For as high as the heavens are above the earthso great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;as far as the east is from the west,so far does he remove our transgressions from us.As a father shows compassion to his children,so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.For he knows our framehe remembers that we are dust.As for man, his days are like grasshe flourishes like a flower of the field;for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,and its place knows it no more.BUT the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear himand his righteousness to children's children,
God, who is to be blesssed,
forgives
heals
redeems
is loving and merciful
satisfies you with good
works righteousness and justice

He does all these things forever, from generation to generation.
