【诗78:4】我们不将这些事向他们的子孙隐瞒，要将耶和华的美德和祂的能力，并祂奇妙的作为，述说给后代听。【Psa78:4】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.

《诗篇》78篇是一首宏大的“历史训诲诗”。亚萨作为先见，用历史教导神子民：要把神美德、大能和奇事，传给后代，不向他们的子孙隐瞒。为了让下一代养成“仰望神，不忘记神的作为，守祂的命令”的属灵习惯。Psalm 78 is a majestic historical psalm of instruction. Asaph the seer uses Israel’s history to teach the people of God to pass on His glorious deeds, His mighty power, and the wonders He has done to the next generation, and not to hide them from their children. The aim is to form in the next generation a spiritual habit of trusting in God, remembering His works, and keeping His commands. 更重要的是——“不要效法他们的祖宗，是顽梗悖逆、居心不正之辈”（第8节）。信仰若不在家庭、教会中向儿女、后人（包括肉身的和属灵的）刻意传承，下一代天然继承的不是对神的仰望和敬畏，而是祖先的“犯罪基因”。More importantly, they are not to be like their forefathers—“a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal to God, whose spirits were not faithful to Him” (v.8). If faith is not intentionally passed on within the family and the community of God’s people, the next generation will not naturally inherit reverence for God, but rather the sinful patterns of their ancestors.

诗人历数以色列祖先在旷野试探神、贪婪、不信等失败的丑态。他们虽经历神迹的物质供应、超凡的引导、惩治，但因居心不正，贪婪、抱怨，内心离神越来越远。但神没有想灭绝他们，而是一次次的管教和拯救。The psalmist recounts the failures of Israel’s forefathers in the wilderness: they tested God, were greedy, and refused to believe. Though they witnessed miraculous provision, divine guidance, and even judgment, their hearts were not right before Him; they grew more and more distant from God through their greed and grumbling. Yet God did not destroy them. Instead, He repeatedly disciplined them and saved them.

主啊，感谢祢！藉这经文的亮光给我们看见：培养儿女成为仰望神的人，不光是主日学老师、传道人的事——他们是教导下一代明白圣经的人。更需要我们自己起来，负起该负的责任！作为长辈，要在生活中见证自己的罪，神如何管教、赦免、怜悯拯救我们。Lord, we thank You for the light of this passage. It shows us that raising children to be those who trust in You is not only the responsibility of Sunday school teachers or ministers—though they play their part as teachers of Scripture. Rather, it is our own responsibility as parents and elders. We are called to bear witness in daily life to our own sinfulness, and to how God has disciplined us, forgiven us, and shown mercy to save us.

殷勤述说神的作为、神的美德、神的赦罪之恩，使我们的后代耳濡目染地被影响，这个长期持久的工作是他人无法代替的。我们可以述说别人经历的神的作为，以及从别人的见证中看到的神的美德、能力。但更有影响力的是我们自己的亲身经历——当我们以第一人称去讲述的时候，带出的信心和影响是不一样的。We are to diligently speak of God’s works, His character, and His grace in forgiving sin, so that our children may be shaped over time by what they hear and see. This long, faithful work cannot be replaced by others. We may speak of what God has done in the lives of others, but far more powerful is our own testimony—when we speak in the first person, the impact of faith is different.

主啊，帮助我们诚实，治死我们里头总想假装自己是好人的假冒为善！记住每一件曾经的失败、如何被神管教、最终悔改得赦免、蒙福的经历。常常准备自己，以温柔、敬畏、不隐瞒、谦卑的心，向后人作见证。Lord, help us to be honest, and to put to death the hypocrisy within us that pretends we have always been good. Help us to remember our failures, how You disciplined us, and how You led us to repentance, forgiveness, and blessing. Teach us to prepare ourselves continually, so that with gentleness, reverence, honesty, and humility, we may bear witness to the next generation.

这样，当我们教育后代的时候，内心就不是高高在上的教导，而是有怜悯、罪得赦免的感恩之心。求祢借我们的见证，引导我们的后人，一代又一代走上悔改蒙福的道路。In this way, when we teach those who come after us, our hearts will not be proud or self-righteous, but filled with compassion and gratitude for grace received. May You use our testimony to lead our children and their children into a lifelong path of repentance, faith, and blessing.
