EACH GENERATION

Today's reading: Psalm 78-80

"For he issued his decree to Jacob; he gave his laws to Israel. He commanded our ancestors to teach them to their children, so the next generation might know them--even the children not yet born--that they in turn might teach their children. So each generation can set its hope anew on God, remembering his glorious miracles and obeying his commands." Psalm 78:5-7 NLT

Yesterday's national holiday was a grand celebration.

The parades, the gatherings, the news broadcasts, the fireworks...all pointing to the excitement of our nation's birthday.

Ten generations of our country.

Ten opportunities for families to remind, renew, revive or restore its hope anew in God.

Two hundred and fifty years of varying time frames of history all marked by God's hand on our nation.

Occasion after occasion of watching God honor those who choose to turn to Him.

Our nation is great because of the God we founded our country upon, the God we serve and the God whom we seek for protection, guidance and blessing.

Are we telling the next generation about Him?
