From Exodus 13: Tell the Story

“On that day explain to your son, ‘This is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’” (v. 8)

So much of your life—especially your faith-life—will be incomprehensible to your kids.

They’ll wonder why you worship as your neighbors sleep in. They’ll wonder why you set aside time for devotion when the television is right there. They’ll wonder why you give, why you open your home, why you lead them to pray.

So tell them the story.

Recount God’s rescue—in history, and of your heart. Share the mighty acts of the Living God with them, and relate how you’ve seen Him act mightily for you, too. Make sure they know that, when you were a slave in utter desperation, He came for you in Christ.

Tell the stories, so that God’s faithfulness will live in their memories, too.
