August 4
Introduction
Today’s reading is the first half of a psalm that recounts the history of God’s people from the exodus to the time of King David. The purpose of the psalm is to teach present and future generations about the past so that they will faithfully obey God.
Scripture Reading
Psalm 78:1-37
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 78:4b
We will tell the next generation about the LORD’s power and his great deeds and the wonderful things he has done.
Reflect
Reread verses 5-8. What important instruction is given? In what ways does your community of faith teach God’s laws to succeeding generations? In the remaining verses in today’s reading, in what ways did God provide for the people? What were the consequences when the people sinned?
Pray
Lord God, I will proclaim your power, your great deeds, and the wonderful things you have done. Keep me close to you this day, and teach me always to obey your commandments. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 78:38-72: The psalm continues with a description of the people’s rebellious acts.
