Psalms 78-80: Tell of The Glorious Deeds of the Lord
In Psalm 78, Asaph reminds us how important it is that we tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord.
I can’t express how important it is that we pass on to future generations, to our children and our children’s children, what God has done in our lifetime and the “…things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us” (78:3).
It’s important that our children, their children, and the generations that follow, understand how God has worked in our lives. They need to know of “…the glorious deeds of the Lord, and His might, and the wonders that He has done” (78:4). We are His testimony, and it is our responsibility to tell of His ways and to teach them to the next generation and the generation after them.
Why is this so important? So that the generations to come know where to place their hope. They need to know that they can place their hope in God, a God Who is capable of performing glorious deeds, a God of might and wonder!
So, what can you share today with the next generation? What glorious, mighty, wonderful testimony can you share with your children, grandchildren, niece, nephew, or the child next door so that they too will “…hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments” (78:7)?
How are you telling the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord?

52 Days in Psalms!
“Prayer does not mean simply to pour out one’s heart. It means rather to find the way to God and to speak with Him, whether the heart is full or empty. No man can do that by himself. For that, he needs Jesus Christ.” ―Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Psalms: The Prayer Book of the Bible

Generation to generation, I want the Lord to be seen in my family, too.

I'm coming to realize that, of all the tools we used and appreciated to help teach our children Biblical truth, the best one is simply what you've shared here: telling our kids His deeds, might, and wonders, not only in the Bible, but in our own lives.

It's a great, thought-provoking question for all of us, and certainly something we should take to heart. Time is short!

If we were convinced of this, we wouldn't do what we do.

I love what my grandmother did by leaving all of her precious, handwritten notes in the margins of her Bible. This is such a treasure to me. And the memories I have of her sitting in her rocking chair reading her Bible is priceless! I still have that rocking chair by the way. :)
