In what ways can we ensure God's deeds are remembered by future generations? Verse focus “ They will come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn— all that He has done.” Psalm 22:31 Big idea: A relay of remembrance God’s works are too glorious to be lost in the fog of time. Psalm 22:31 calls each generation to hand the baton of testimony to “a people yet unborn.” Scripture shows practical ways to keep that relay moving. Tell the story with your mouth • Verbal testimony is God’s first tool. • Psalm 78:4: “We will not hide them from their children, but will declare… the wonders He has done.” • Isaiah 38:19: “The living, the living—they praise You… fathers make known Your faithfulness to their children.” • Regularly recount personal and biblical stories of deliverance, healing, provision, and salvation. Teach diligently at home • Deuteronomy 6:6-7: “These words… are to be on your hearts. And you shall teach them diligently to your children.” • Bedtime, mealtimes, commutes, and celebrations become classrooms where God’s deeds are reviewed and celebrated. Build memorials and tangible reminders • Joshua 4:6-7 recounts the Jordan-river stones: “These stones are a memorial… so that all the peoples of the earth may know.” • Keep visible reminders—photographs, artwork, journals, even a special object that sparks the story of God’s intervention. Sing it out in worship • Psalm 145:4: “One generation will commend Your works to the next; they shall proclaim Your mighty acts.” • Music plants truth in memory. Choose songs that rehearse redemption, not just feelings. Write it down • Psalm 102:18: “Let this be written for a future generation.” • Maintain a family chronicle or digital archive of answered prayers, prophetic words, and mission reports. • Author blogs, books, or social-media posts that preserve detailed accounts. Celebrate covenant events • Exodus 12:26-27 shows Passover as a built-in lesson about deliverance. • Communion carries the same function: “For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes” (1 Corinthians 11:26). • Baptisms, dedications, and anniversaries of key miracles re-anchor the story. Live it out in service • Titus 2:7: “In everything, show yourself an example of good works.” • Serving the needy, forgiving enemies, and standing for truth make God’s deeds visible, not just audible. Invest in disciples who will pass it on • 2 Timothy 2:2: “What you have heard from me… entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.” • Mentor new believers, train children’s leaders, support missionaries—multiplication ensures the story continues. Use today’s platforms wisely • Psalm 96:3: “Declare His glory among the nations.” • Podcasts, videos, and social media can carry testimonies farther and faster than ever, without diluting their truth. Keep the relay going Remembering is not passive nostalgia; it is active proclamation. As each generation speaks, teaches, builds, sings, writes, celebrates, lives, invests, and broadcasts God’s mighty acts, Psalm 22:31 comes alive—until the people yet unborn rise up to do the same. |
