Exodus 13:8-10

Good morning, everyone! :)

Exodus 13:8-10
And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, 'This is done because of what the LORD did for me when I came up from Egypt.' It shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that the LORD's law may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand the LORD has brought you out of Egypt. You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.

This is just one of at least three times in the course of the almost-two-chapters in Exodus on the Passover where it commands the parents to tell their children why they celebrate Passover. The purpose of the annual Passover feast is made pretty plain--it was so that they would remember what God had done for them, and would pass on the legacy of that deliverance to their children.
How are we memorializing God's deliverance for us--in our lives, our families, our nation? How are we passing on to the next generation a legacy of what God has done?

Father, help me to remember all that You have done, and to tell Your works to the next generation, so they also can remember and see Your hand at work!

May the Lord bless you richly as you remember and recount His marvelous works!
