Psalm 78 - Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 78.

Meditate on verse 4.

We will not conceal them from their children,

 but tell to the generation to come the praises of the LORD,

and His strength and His wondrous works that He has done.

Thankfully Asaph did not conceal God’s wondrous works.  He gave additional insight into the miracles God did for Israel.  For example, Moses recorded that God brought water from the rock (Exodus 17:6).  Asaph described that God “gave them abundant drink like the ocean depths and caused waters to run down like rivers” (vs. 15-16).

As the waters gushed and overflowed, the people questioned God’s ability to give them bread and meat (v. 20).  Their behavior was ungratefully rude toward God.

Do you ever whine and complain in the midst of the LORD’s gushing blessings in your life?  The LORD was full of wrath against Israel for their unbelief (vs. 21-22). Take heed not to repeat their sinful behavior.

Pray Psalm 78:4-8 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, do not let _______ and me conceal

 these truths from our children. 

Let us tell the generation to come Your praises,

Your strength, and the wondrous works You have done. 

Let us teach Your commandments to our children,

 so the generation to come might know,

 even the children yet to be born,

 that they may arise and tell them to their children.

 Let us put our confidence in You, God, and

 not forget Your works, but keep Your commandments.

 Do not let us be a stubborn and rebellious generation.

 Make us a generation that prepares its heart

 and whose spirit is faithful to You, God.

Because of Your name, Jesus~”
