God expects us to raise our children so they place their hope in Him. However, people do not hope in those they do not trust. And trust is based on past performance. When someone repeatedly proves himself to be trustworthy, we learn by experience that they are reliable.
The reason we repeatedly remind our children and those around us of God’s actions in our life is because people must see how absolutely dependable God is in every circumstance. The reason many young people today are turning away from God and the church is because they have never seen how faithful and practical God is. These young people may witness their parents attending church but they never see how God makes a practical difference in their lives.
It isn’t that God is untrustworthy, but that we often fail to bear witness to His faithfulness. It is our divinely appointed responsibility to glorify God by telling others of what He has done. Do not let today go by without telling someone of God’s goodness to you!
