Summary

The next generation is watching...are we reflecting Christ in what we do and say? Here’s how to leave a legacy of faith they’ll never forget. In this prayer and devotional, we are invited to consider how our lives serve as a living testimony for the next generation. The psalmist's charge is clear: don’t just talk about God’s wonders—live them. Keneesha Saunders-Liddie urges us to be consistent in our walk with Christ, modeling integrity, joy, and perseverance so that younger believers can see Jesus reflected in our everyday lives.

Today's Bible Verse: Psalm 78:4 – “We will not hide them from their children, but rather tell the coming generation to come the praises of the Lord, and His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.”

💡 Main Takeaways

Faith is generational: What we do now echoes in the lives of children and young adults watching us.
Consistency matters: It’s not just about recounting biblical stories but showing how God's power still works in us today.
Be the witness: You can be the “great cloud of witnesses” (Hebrews 12:1) that younger believers remember.
Let your walk match your talk: Authentic Christian living is the greatest sermon we’ll ever preach.

✍️ Scripture References

Psalm 78:4 – Tell of His strength and wonderful works
Hebrews 12:1 – The great cloud of witnesses
Matthew 5:14-16 – Be a light to the world
