“We will not hide them from their children, but will tell a future generation the praiseworthy acts of the Lord, his might, and the wondrous works he has performed.” (v. 4)

This is the parent’s—and the grandparent’s, and the mentor’s—first responsibility.

We have to tell them the truth about God!

If we raise them toward every worldly benchmark—if we strive for test scores and sports achievements and activities—but we don’t tell them the Gospel and its history, we fail them. They’ll see their purpose and their place in history in the moment only. They’ll miss the big picture while settling for lesser gods.

Worse, the further generations—the ones we won’t live to see—will believe even less. Who will be there to tell them?

So don’t hide what matters in between and underneath all the stuff of earth.

Tell them.
