00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Day 166, or June the 15th. Never forget what God has done.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,680
Our thoughts today are rooted in Psalm 78 verse 4. We will not hide them from their

3
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:21,520
descendants. We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power,

4
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,680
and the wonders He has done.

5
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:31,760
And now the big picture surrounding this verse. Today's Psalms are once again all by Asaph,

6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:38,160
and contain the second longest Psalm, which he uses to remind the people of God's faithfulness

7
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:45,240
and guidance since the early days of the Exodus. Asaph takes great care to relate the full

8
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:51,640
story, and he wrote it in such a way that it was easier to be studied and memorized.

9
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:57,240
In this way the Israelites never forgot their God and His acts of love and mercy throughout

10
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:02,700
their history. The major aim of the ministry of Walkthrough the Bible is to help people

11
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:08,200
to remember the whole storyline, with its people, places and events, so that we are

12
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:14,780
all able to use it as a foundation and so become God's people who are rooted in His

13
00:01:14,780 --> 00:01:17,640
Word.

14
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:23,160
And now today's action step. As we are skimming through the whole of Scripture, stopping each

15
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:29,720
day to look at a verse or theme before moving on, I do hope it is wetting your appetite

16
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:36,080
to maybe read the whole Bible yourself one day, or maybe listen to it. There is a parallel

17
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:41,740
book to this one, it's called Step by Step, and it goes into a little more detail as well

18
00:01:41,740 --> 00:01:48,680
as encouraging you to read the whole Bible at the same time. It's also available, recorded

19
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:55,360
by me, its author, in MP3 format, so that you can listen to it in your car, or on a

20
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:02,160
phone, or on an MP3 player. The recording includes the whole Bible too, so by investing

21
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:08,720
about twenty minutes or so every day you can get to know the whole Bible better.

22
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:14,320
Matthew did all he could to get his contemporaries into the Word of God. What about you? What

23
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:21,000
about your church? If all we do is not grounded in God's Word, we are in constant danger

24
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,380
of being deflected by the latest fad that comes along. Why not resolve today that you

25
00:02:27,380 --> 00:02:38,960
will do your best to consult the Word of God every day from now on?
