Hope Anew

Scripture
Psalms 78:5-7
For he issued his laws to Jacob; he gave his instructions to Israel. He commanded our ancestors to teach them to their children, 6 so the next generation might know them— even the children not yet born— and they in turn will teach their own children. 7 So each generation should set its hope anew on God, not forgetting his glorious miracles and obeying his commands.

Observation
The command was to teach and instruct the children to know God, and the children's' children, so there would be fresh hope on God, and remembering the miraculous and His commands.

Application
I need to be passing on God's commands, and instructions, to the next generation. I know this must be done in a way that it can be received well. There needs to be 'hope anew' in God - their own hope, not my generation's hope. God has no grandchildren. It has to be living for them.

Prayer
Lord, I want our kids, including my kids, to know You and to have 'hope anew' in You. It's got to be real for them. Don't let my generation be the one that has dropped to torch. Do what you need to do in me, that I might pass on the authentic flame.
