Tomorrow’s Praise
Referring to our children being trained in the way of praise and thanksgiving, the Lord expresses several expectations for them—that they “may not be like their fathers” (v. 8) and that “they may set their hope in God” (v. 7). Children who expect perfect parents will always be disappointed. At some point, fathers will fail. But God still uses fathers to direct children to the unfailing source of hope—God Himself. That generation will succeed that turns its hope away from anything in this life and fastens its hope firmly on God.
In a world set on affixing blame for personal unhappiness and lifelong failure on the circumstances and people of our past, the Lord offers another pathway. As we focus on His faithfulness to our fathers, there is God’s unquestionable promise of securing our present and future too. His love for us is real and readily available each day. Learn to praise the Lord for all that He is, for all that He has done, and for a future He has promised to make bright with His presence.
