Psalm 78 is one of the longest psalms that you will run across in the book of Psalms. If you think it is long, read Psalm 119. But none the less, it is long. It is Asaph's reflection upon what the Lord has done in the past and how He had prepared them for their present. He shares long details of the stories of Scripture that we have read and that was shared frequently in his day through fireside and bedside chats. Why does he reflect on the steady hand of God through history? He tells us in verse 4. Psalm 78:4- We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done. (www.lifejournal.cc)
We live in a society that is trying to keep up with Asia educationally and, apparently, Europe socially.
If we would be that concerned about laying a spiritual root in our kids' lives, we will leave a greater legacy than education or social enlightenment could ever leave.
May God wake us up to our opportunity!
