Psalm 44:1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

Whilst saving faith cannot be inherited, a knowledge of the way of salvation most certainly can be. Those who are parents/grandparents/great grandparents, are to speak of the wonders and deliverances they have known from the hand of God. To do so highlights to the listening child, how the Lord God is truly unchanging in the richness of His mercy, grace and love. 

In understanding of the immutability of God, the growing child will pass through times of suffering and sorrow, strengthened with the knowledge that as God watched over their forebears, He will do so also for them. This awareness and experience of the personal love of God, then leads a thankful heart to give glory unto the Lord God. 

All this came from a parent/grandparent or great grandparent, who looked to teach their little ones of the goodness of the Lord. To do so is to honour the words of God (Deuteronomy 6:7, Proverbs 22:6), and thereby, we glorify the name of the Lord God.
