-TELL THE STORY
--PSALM 78:1-8
---
[Tell] to the
generation to come
the praises of the
LORD, and His
strength and His
wonderful works
that He has done.
--Psalm 78:4
---
In Psalm 78, the psalmist was aware of the possibility of God's mighty works being forgotten and a generation being lost, so he called God's people to never tire of telling the old story of His redemptive acts to future generations (v.4).

The goal of this perpetual rehearsing of their history wasn't just for memorizing historical data: it was to inspire faith, obedience, and hope in the Lord (v.7) and to keep future generations from groping in the darkness of unbelief and rebellion like the generations before them (v.8).

Because of God's mighty power and grace in our lives we desire to be faithful to tell His stories that we might inspire faith and obedience in future generations.
