So each generation should set its hope anew on God, not forgetting his glorious miracles and obeying his commands. – Psalm 78:7 (NLT)
Yesterday we talked about passing our faith on to those around us. Like a note, passed to a friend, our faith is meant to pass on ideas about God to others. Today we’re looking at the reason why we do this. Why should we tell others about our faith in God?
The answer is in Psalm 78:7. Because we want our friends, family, and those around us to set their hope on God. God can be our hope in times of trouble.
But here’s the hard truth. In times of trouble, it’s really easy to forget that God is our hope. It’s easy to focus on the bad things going on in our lives, and forget that we have God and His help. That’s why today’s verse says that we’re to not forget His miracles and commands.
You never know who is watching you as you go through a difficult season. Your faith in God often inspires others to faith simply by you staying firm in what you believe. A person of faith always keeps their eyes God as the answer and reminds themselves of His past miracles.
So when you or someone you know is going through something difficult, remember what God has done in the past. Instead of putting all your focus on the problem, remind yourself of how God has come through. As you do that, you’ll inspire faith in those around you, and stay encouraged until you come through the trial.
