“Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children.”
Psalms 78:5 He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to 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; and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God.
Psalms 71:18 So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come.
Psalms 102:18 Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD:
Psalms 145:4 One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.
Esther 9:28 that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation,
Deuteronomy 4:10 how on the day that you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, the LORD said to me, ‘Gather the people to me, that I may let them hear my words, so that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children so.’
Joel 1:3 Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children to another generation.
Our responsibility is clear to tell the next generation about God and His glorious mighty power and steadfast love. Do you ever stop to think about all the acts of blessing, mercy, love, and power God has done in your life? We ought to record these and share them with our children, families and friends. We are not only to humbly serve, honor, follow and obey God, but also to tell others of what He has done in the past, what He has done in our lifetime, and the hope of our salvation.
