\u201cTell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children to another generation.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBeware lest you say in your heart, \u2018My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Psalms 44:1\u00a0 O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, what deeds you performed in their days<\/strong>, in the days of old;\u00a0you with your own hand drove out the nations, but them you planted; you afflicted the peoples, but them you set free;\u00a0for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm save them, but your right hand and your arm, and the light of your face, for you delighted in them.\u00a0You are my King, O God; ordain salvation for Jacob!<\/p>\n

Isaiah 38:19\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The living, the living, he thanks you, as I do this day; the father makes known to the children your faithfulness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exodus 13:14\u00a0\u00a0And when in time to come your son asks you, \u2018What does this mean?\u2019 you shall say to him, \u2018By a strong hand the LORD<\/strong> brought us out of Egypt, from the house of slavery.<\/p>\n

Psalms 105:1\u00a0\u00a0Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!<\/p>\n

Psalms 78:3\u00a0\u00a0things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us.\u00a0\u00a0We will not hide them from their children<\/strong>, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 4:37\u00a0\u00a0And because he loved your fathers and chose their offspring after them and brought you out of Egypt with his own presence, by his great power,\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0driving out before you nations greater and mightier than you<\/strong>, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day,<\/p>\n

Romans 9:10\u00a0\u00a0And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac,\u00a0\u00a0though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad\u2014in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls\u2014\u00a0\u00a0she was told, \u201cThe older will serve the younger.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0As it is written, \u201cJacob I loved, but Esau I hated.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God’s part? By no means!\u00a0\u00a0For he says to Moses, \u201cI will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zechariah 4:6\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Then he said to me, \u201cThis is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

God has done wondrous acts of power, might, compassion, and mercy. \u00a0We read of these acts in scripture and they give us hope. \u00a0We are to retell these stories over and over again to our children and their children – being able to tell of the hope that is within us”. \u00a0However God is not dead. \u00a0He is still active in the all things. \u00a0Walking close to God should and will add to the stories of old, stories of how God was and is active in our life. \u00a0Stories of how we were defeated in our heart and God lifted us up. \u00a0Stories of how God directed us to help someone at the same time they \u00a0were praying for help. \u00a0Stories of how God healed our sickness. \u00a0Stories of how God provided when there was no means to provide from ourselves. \u00a0Stories of how He gave us strength when we were weak, hope when we were hopeless, joy out of sadness, love replacing hate, patience replacing anxiousness, and faith replacing doubt. \u00a0These are everyday stories we need to tell our children and each other. We do this because we know God to be true and we honor and glorify Him by telling of His mighty, powerful, amazing, awesome, work in our lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
