Psalm 78:6
That the next generation might know them,
the children yet unborn,
and arise and tell them to their children.
The Faith is not a subject, it’s a relationship. The Faith is not taught, it’s caught. The Faith is not just written down, it’s handed down. Believers are not just disciples, they are sons and daughters. Today, give thanks for those who handed the Faith to you. Then, think of those in your life to whom you can hand the Faith and think of a way to pass along what you’ve been given.
