Great is the Lord, Tell Your Children
Scripture: Psalm 145:3-4 (NLT)
Great is the Lord! He is most
worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness. Let each generation tell
its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power.
Devotion:
In the heart of Psalm 145, we find
a profound declaration of God’s greatness. David, the psalmist, extols the Lord
with unwavering admiration, recognizing His unparalleled worthiness to be
praised. This reverence is not just a fleeting sentiment but an eternal truth
that transcends generations.
“Great is the Lord! He is most
worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness.” These words resonate with
the awe that fills our hearts when we contemplate the vastness of God’s power
and presence. It is a call to acknowledge that God’s greatness exceeds our
understanding. His deeds, creation, and love are immeasurable and beyond human
comprehension. He is not just great but the greatest, deserving of our
highest praise.
As we meditate on these verses, it
becomes clear that our recognition of God’s greatness should not be kept to
ourselves. David implores us to share this awe and admiration with future
generations. “Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let
them proclaim your power.” This serves as a mandate for us to be active in our
faith, to speak of God’s wonders, and to ensure that the knowledge of His
greatness is passed down through the ages.
Teaching the next generation about
God’s mighty acts is crucial. It ensures the continuity of faith and keeps the
legacy of God’s power and love alive. By recounting the stories of God’s
faithfulness, miracles, and interventions, we provide our children with a
foundation of hope and trust. They learn to see God not as a distant deity but as
a present and active force in their lives.
Reflecting on these verses, let us
be inspired to praise God earnestly and commit ourselves to sharing His
greatness with others, especially the younger generations. Let’s be storytellers
of His mighty acts, proclaimers of His power, and witnesses of His unending
greatness. In doing so, we honor God and fulfill our role as faithful stewards
of His word.
As you go about your day, marvel at
God’s greatness. Share a story of His goodness with your children or someone
younger than you. Let the legacy of His mighty acts continue through you.
Prayer:
God
Almighty, we sit in amazement at your hands' many works. We see your
greatness that fills creation with all things. Lord, let us praise you with
singing voices and quiet prayers. Lord, help us love you with all our heart,
mind, soul, and strength. May we tell our children and grandchildren about your
marvelous deeds in the history of the world. Lord, let our children know that
you alone are God and you are wonderful. Amen.
