Psalm 78 opens with an exhortation to hear and listen to the story of God's working in the people of Israel and then to pass that story on to succeeding generations. Their children and their children's children and even the children yet to be born should hear the story of God's praiseworthy deeds, his power, wonders and law. The purpose of all this is so that they might know him and trust him.
The psalmist then proceeds to recount many of those stories in the rest of the psalm, (song.) The power of story and song are the vehicles of communication that keep the message alive and remembered. There is something special about contemporary worship because it is our story. Traditional songs are joined with today's songs to tell the work and wonders of God. A big thank you to all the musicians and poets who are a part of this process. Let us continue to sing out the story of God.
