Psalm 78: 4-7: Prayer of my Heart

4 We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:

6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

This Psalm has become one that I might be faithful in applying in the lives of the children the Lord has placed in my home. We do not choose the children the Lord gives us, but are to be good stewards with the "gifts" he bestows upon us. We see our this adoption process as the same. We had no idea which children the Lord would place before us, but even now, try to be faithful in prayer for them during this journey of bringing them into our home permanently, if the Lord wills.
