What practical steps can families take to share God's "wonders" daily? Verse Focus “We will not hide them from their children, but will declare to the next generation the praises of the LORD, and His power, and the wonders He has done.” Seeing the Call to Testify God’s instruction is simple: talk about what He has done, talk about it often, and make sure the next generation hears it straight from our lips (cf. Deuteronomy 6:6-7; Psalm 145:4). Our homes are the first classrooms where His mighty acts are meant to be rehearsed. Step-by-Step Ways to Share God’s Wonders • Tell God-Stories at the Table – Reserve a few minutes during meals for each family member to share how they saw God’s hand that day. – Keep the conversation Scripture-anchored: pair a story with a verse that illustrates God’s character (e.g., Psalm 34:8 when He supplies a need). • Mark the House with Truth – Post Scripture-art or index cards in high-traffic spots (mirrors, fridge, doorframes), reflecting Deuteronomy 6:9. – Rotate verses weekly so new facets of God’s power stay fresh. • Keep a Family “Wonders Journal” – Record answered prayers, providential encounters, and personal salvations. – Revisit entries on birthdays and holidays to remember His faithfulness (Joshua 4:6-7). • Turn Bedtime into Worship Time – Close every evening with a short praise chorus or hymn that recounts His deeds (Psalm 92:2). – End by reciting a single verse aloud together, sealing God’s works in young hearts while they rest. • Walk and Talk in Creation – During neighborhood strolls or hikes, point out examples of God’s craftsmanship (Romans 1:20). – Let children collect “reminders” (leaves, stones) and link each to a biblical truth about His power. • Celebrate Spiritual Milestones – Commemorate baptisms, answered-prayer anniversaries, or mission trips with small family gatherings. – Speak specifically of the “wonders” God performed in each event (Isaiah 38:19). • Serve Side-by-Side – Volunteer as a family at church or in the community. Afterward, debrief how God showed up in the service setting (Matthew 5:16). – Connect acts of mercy to the ultimate mercy shown at the cross. • Use Media Wisely – Select music, films, and books that highlight God’s greatness. Discuss afterward what wonder of God was showcased (Philippians 4:8). – Limit content that distracts from His glory, guarding hearts and schedules. • Pray with Expectation, Not Just Petition – Frame requests around who God is and what He has done: “Father, You split the sea for Israel; show Your power in our need today.” – When He answers, circle back immediately to praise, reinforcing the link between prayer and His tangible wonders (Philippians 4:6-7). Living the Verse Daily Psalm 78:4 moves family discipleship from theory to habit. By weaving storytelling, visible Scripture, active remembrance, worship, and service into ordinary routines, parents fulfill the mandate to “declare to the next generation” God’s praises, power, and wonders—every single day. |
