“We have
heard with our ears, O God, our ancestors have told us, what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of
old.”
(Psalm 44:1)
When he was just a young boy, Clayton would
sometimes ask about things that happened when I was his age. He would often say, “Daddy, tell me what it
was like in the back times.” That phrase made me feel old every time he
used it, yet it was a reminder to me and a teaching moment for him about life
lessons from the past.
The Psalmist recalls the blessing of past
stories that serve to revitalize faith as the persistent love and provision of
God is remembered. The cross is a symbol
of faith that calls us to remember the deeds of old that still impact
eternity. Stories of the cross passed on
to you that you then pass on to others, truly make a difference…an eternal
difference.
Prayer: We are grateful for the good news
that has been passed on to us, O God.
Help us to be faithful in passing along those stories to others.
Amen.
Jim Abernathy
