Today was one of my favourite days of the school year--Grandparents' Day (notice the correct use of plural possessive? Hopefully, some of my Grade 5 students read that). What a wonderful day to celebrate our Lord's covenant faithfulness! Our class began the day reading from Psalm 78.
What is Grandparents' Day/this Psalm about? "Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and His strength and His wonderful works that He has done."
Why do we tell them the praises of the Lord? "That the generation to come might know them, the children who would be born, that they may arise and declare them to their children, that they may set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments."
As I met with many grandparents today, I was reminded again that even though we are unfaithful, God is faithful. I was also reminded that He is a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon generations of those who hate Him, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Him and keep His commandments. (Deuteronomy 5). Thanks be to God that He is faithful from generation to generation.
