[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 79]] ## Title: Generational Praise ## Scripture: (Psalm 79:13) “Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture, will continually thank you. We will tell coming generations of your praiseworthy acts.” (NET) ## Observation: When I was a kid, I did not enjoy hearing the stories of my parents. I did not see why they mattered. That was their life and this is mine. However, it wasn’t long before I found them entertaining. They lived much different lives than I was experiencing, but the overall circumstances such as love and loss were similar. Then, as I continued to get older, I began to see how the Lord walked with them through them all, just like I was hoping He would do with me. At some point, I began to highly value the stories of those who have gone before and what the Lord did in their lives. That is one reason why I tell my daughters stories about their family. I want them to know their history so they can see the thread of God’s goodness that weaves us all together. When we look behind us, we see how God has always been faithful. He was faithful then, and He will be faithful now. ## Application: Reflect on God’s faithfulness in the past. See it as His promise to be faithful in the future. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for Your continual faithfulness.
