Tell the Coming Generation


Lately reading the Old Testament has been so fun! There have been amazing pictures of Jesus and continuous themes of God being holy, good and gracious-not to mention his faithfulness. It’s equally exciting to read through scripture like the Psalms and see verses that command us to tell the coming generation of his glorious deeds. So since I’ve been lacking in posts lately, whenever I find one, I’ll share it here. Today is one of my favorites (that’s actually titled “Tell the Coming Generation) Psalm 78: 2-7:

I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings from of old
Things that we have heard and known,
that our fathers have told us.
We will not hide them from their children,
but tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
and the wonders that he has done.
He established a testimony in Jacob
And appointed a law in Israel,
which he commanded our fathers
to teach their children,
that the next generation might know them,
the children yet unborn,
and arise and tell them to their children,
so that they should SET THEIR HOPE IN GOD
and NOT FORGET THE WORKS OF GOD
but KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS

May we all have children in our life so that we can tell the coming generation of God’s glorious deeds, his might, and His wonders so that eventually they would put their hope in the glorious, mighty and wonderful God & keep his commandments…
