Good Morning Friends,
“But as for me, I will always have hope; I
will praise you more and more. My mouth
will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I know
not its measure. I will come and
proclaim your mighty acts, O Sovereign LORD; I will proclaim your
righteousness, yours alone. Since my
youth, O God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous
deeds. Even when I am old and gray, do
not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your
might to all who are to come.” (Psalm 71:14-18)
The Psalmist told others about what God had
done for him. He was taught to do it as
a youth and he intended to continue even when he was old and gray. All of his life he told others about what God
had done.
He wanted his own generation to know and he
longed to tell the next generation, too.
He didn’t want the worship of God to die with him and those of his
generation, he longed to see it passed on from generation to generation.
The Lord has entrusted that same
responsibility to us. No matter how
young we are, we are not too young to begin telling others of His love and
grace. No matter how old we are, we are
not at “retirement” age. We are not past
the time when we are expected to be involved in telling others. From youth to old age, God would have us be
involved in telling others of Him. We
are to tell our own generation and the next generation so that His message
continues through the years.
The Psalmist knew God’s salvation, His
righteousness, His mighty acts, His marvelous deeds, His power, and he told
others. We know those same things and
have the same privilege and responsibility to tell others.
His, by Grace,
Steve
