On 7/8, focus on Psalm 78 for the joy of the next generation
Resources to help you tell the glorious deeds of the Lord to the next generation
Psalm 78 issues a tremendous challenge, charging one generation to tell the “glorious deeds of the LORD” to the next. God intends for His testimony to be taught in every generation.
One generation faithfully teaches the next generation, then they teach the next generation, who teaches the next generation, and on and on in every generation until Jesus returns. This is the pattern God established for His people to make Himself, His Word, and the gospel known to all generations. This is the calling for every follower of Christ.
July 8 (7/8) is a day to meditate and act on the call of Psalm 78, for the good of the next generations.
