The Legacy Begins
Scripture: We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done. - Psalm 78:4 (NIV)
Devotional: Our history is a testimony of God’s faithfulness through every generation. Remembering strengthens our identity and deepens our gratitude.
Reflection: What part of your story is strengthened by remembering those before you?
