Focus before you read. . .
Who is responsible for passing the good news of the gospel to the next generation? Is it a collective (corporate) responsibility or individual?
As you read. . .
“O my people, hear my teaching…We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done…he commanded our forefathers to teach their children, so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in God”
Prayer after reading. . .
Lord, help me honor this command to tell the next generation of your deeds, power, and wonders. Through the Holy Spirit alive in me, direct me to opportunities to show and tell of your love for the children you put in my path today.
