Today's Blog Title: "Lessons from History"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 78:1-72
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 78:7 "That they might set there hope in God, and not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments."
Psalm 78 was written by Asaph. Asaph psalm fulfills each generations obligation to share knowledge of God with the next. Because one generation forgot God they violated His covenant and suffered defeat. So Asaph catalogs the wonderful things God has done in revealing Himself to Israel: He hurled plagues against Egypt. He disciplined and fed the wilderness generation. He punished and forgave. Yet Israel rebelled and turned to idols. Yet later God would beat back His chosen peoples enemies and chose David (a man after his own heart) to shepherd His people. How great the sin of man and how greater the grace of our Almighty God.
In 78:4 Asaph pinpoints what each generation needs to pass on to the next: "the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord." We as Christians today should not hesitate to share what God has done in our lives with our children. They will see and come to know Him through what we impart.
The statement in 78:32 "In spite of all this" means that it is not enough to be open about who God is and what He has done for us, it is also necessary to be honest about our own weakness and failings. How important it is for our children to know that God is a loving and forgiving God. He disciplines us when we sin, but never withdraws His love (Praise God).
Today's Hymn: "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" (verse 1)
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father; There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassion's, they fail not; As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hast provided; Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.
Heaven Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how we adore and praise for Your never ending love towards us. May we as Christian parents and grandparents pass on to our children and grandchildren the wonderful things of what the Almighty God has done and continues to do in our lives. May we walk in the way of the Lord whose strength will lift us up.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "People of true faith will seek God's will and respond in grateful praise. Self centered people will simply complain and suffer the result"

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and serve the Lord with Gladness. Love God More Today, and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T", God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".
Yours in Christ
