Psalm 78 Commentary
The Bible is primarily a record of God’s “praises, His strength, and His wonderful works that He has done.” Verse 4.
These recorded facts must be communicated to our children. Don’t leave it to chance! Don’t let them learn these things from the streets!
The rest of us don’t have to cross the Red Sea on dry ground! We have a record to inform us of God’s greatness. This record is passed on from one generation to another – father to son.
But why?
Verse 7 answers. That they may set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments
If a generation is hopeless, if a generation forgets the works of God, and if a generation is lawless, then you know who to blame. It means the father-to-son communication didn’t take place.
Yes, it’s a record of great works, but it is also a record of “failure to believe”. It becomes a “don’t repeat this at home” warning.
Humanity has a history of success and failure. Obedience brought success. Lawlessness brought failure.
Failure isn’t like a failure of a business deal. It means life and death.
Let men communicate these facts to their children!
