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.
