We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, 

about his power and his mighty wonders.

For he issued his laws to Jacob; 

he gave his instructions to Israel.

He commanded our ancestors to teach them to their children,

so the next generation might know them - even the children not yet born - and they in turn will teach their own children.

So each generation should set its hope anew on God, not forgetting his glorious miracles and obeying his commands.

Psalms 78:4-7 NLT

Asaph is reminding his people, and reminding us that God's stories matter. 

Pass them on.

Pass on the stories of God in your life whether you have children or not. 

Pass on the stories and let each generation "set its hope anew on God". 

A second-hand faith is helpful, it points us in the right direction, it reminds us that there is a Bigger Story here that is intergenerational, that's bigger than us, we're part of something that has its origins in Eternity. 

And we have to grasp it for ourselves, and the next generation has to do the same, in their own way. 

Let them. 

Encourage then. 

They too are Beloved.
