In Psalm 145, we read how “one generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.” David explains how personally, he will live in this way: “On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.” Together, everyone will make God’s name famous.
I like thinking about how each of us might do this more and more for the next generation. Which mighty acts of God might we declare from our own lives and how? How might we declare God’s greatness? Consider the unique form God might invite this to take in your own life. Writing? Singing? Speaking? Painting? Simple conversations with children? Podcasting? TikTok? Film?
Every new season, I ask God what I might declare about Him and how and to whom. It’s a great prayer to begin the month of May.
