Don't Hide It

Psalm 78:2-4 …things we have heard and known, things our ancestors have told us.  We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.

From the time our kids are little, we need to start sharing with them the things God has done in lives, so that they “hear” and “know” the power and wonder of their heavenly Father.

Instead of recalling all of the trouble we got into as a kid, the messes we made of our lives, the mistakes we made, etc. why not turn and recall all of the blessings God gave us over the years?

We don’t need to make our kids, young or old, sit and listen to us tell a long, lengthy lecture about serving God – we need to just share what he’s done for us.

Did we lose a job?  Tell them how God provided a new and better one.

Did a friend suddenly pass away?  Tell them how God comforted us through his Word.

Did we experience a huge disappointment?  Tell them how hard it was, but how big God was.

In other words, TELL THEM.  In your everyday conversations, just casually and simply talk about His blessings, so that when they go through tough times, they will recall what they’ve heard.  And they too will then KNOW that He is faithful.
