 They often refer to their God generationally, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God wasn't just moving in Jacob's generation. God was moving in Abraham's generation and then in Isaac's generation. So God was moving in generations before us. So we have to often go back and thank God for our history. We have to go back and reflect and learn from what was so we can have the necessary tools to propel us into what God is about to do.
