Psalm 78:1-7
A Teaching Song of Asaph
O my people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth...we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done. He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the Law in Israel, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children, so that the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds, but would keep his commands.
God wants us all to know the truth of what He has done already. God won't repeat the miracles he's already done, He wants us to teach our children and grandchildren so that they can also teach their children and grandchildren. When they really know for fact who God is and what He's done, then they will be able to trust Him and follow His directions, the rules He established so we could live an orderly and pleasant life, the result of obeying His laws. The Bible is the Manufacturer's blueprint for how we are to build our lives. Always read the directions!
