Psalm 78:4
Psalm 78:4
We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds.
Psalm 78:4 speaks to the responsibility of passing on the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord to the next generation. The psalmist calls for the testimony of God’s greatness to be shared, ensuring that the children grow up knowing the powerful works of God in history. This is a call to intentional storytelling, where the faithfulness of God is communicated through personal testimony and biblical accounts. It also serves as a reminder that the faith must be handed down not only through words but through the actions of parents and mentors who model God's faithfulness. The foundation of faith in the next generation is built on our willingness to share God’s deeds and to live them out before others.
