I was reading in Nehemiah 9.
The Levites are saying praises to the Lord, and in their praises, they are remembering what the Lord has done for them.
They start with praising God for his creation, in Nehemiah chapter 9 verse 6: \"You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.\"
Then the Levites continue praising their God, remembering Abraham, remembering their rescue from slavery, remembering the ten commandments, remembering the provisions while they were in the wilderness. Then they go on to talk about their forefathers and how they turned their backs on God with arrogance and stiff necks. (verse 16) And they continue to praise God by thanking Him for being a \"forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love.\" (verse 17)
And it continues on and on where they talk about the rebellious slow to learn ancestors and how God never left them.
What if we made our own book?
A book of how we have seen God provide for us, answer prayers, and talk about how we have had our times where perhaps we have not walked as close with God, and how He continues to bring His children back to Him. That way we can pass it on to our children - this legacy of faith and this record of what we have seen Him do. |
