“David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep and was laid unto his fathers” (Acts 13:26). “It came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died” (Josh. 24:29). “Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him” (Josh. 24:33). These men and others like them served their generation, fell on sleep and now await their resurrection. The enemies they faced still existed and had to be faced by the next generation. And so it is today. We learn of Joshua’s generation: “Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua” (Josh. 24:31). Then what? The beginning of Judges answers the question. “After the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites? ... The Lord said, Judah shall go up. ... And Judah [and Simeon] went up ... and the Lord delivered the Canaanites ... into their hand.” But sadly, “Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean ... neither did Ephraim drive out ... neither did Asher.” Are we serving our generation by the will of God? Or are we not?
