Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth! I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old, things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.
Psalm 78:1-4 (ESV)It is a generational sin to hide God's glorious deeds from the next generation. Older people need to spend time recounting God's goodness. We need not recount our goodness, for there is nothing to be recounted, but we are responsible for recounting God's goodness.
This is what we should talk about on a regular and in a normal basis. It should not be extraordinary that we speak of God, even though we speak of His extraordinary deeds. God alone makes the ordinary extraordinary, and without Him there is nothing remarkable of which to speak. Today I need to think of Him, His glorious deeds, and the wonders He has made.
