There is a beautiful
passage found in Psalm 71:14-18 that tells us how we should live our lives, and
share what God has done.
As for me, I will always
have hope;
I will praise you more and more.
I will praise you more and more.
My
mouth will tell of your righteous deeds,
of your saving acts all day long—
though I know not how to relate them all.
I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord;
I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
Since my youth, God, you have taught me,
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
of your saving acts all day long—
though I know not how to relate them all.
I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord;
I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
Since my youth, God, you have taught me,
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
Look what is said in the
next verse about sharing with younger generations.
Even
when I am old and gray,
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.
Those of us that are
over 50 should take special note of this verse. We feel sometimes as we get
older that we’ve done our share, or we’re ready to “sit and soak”. This is not
Scriptural! Craig Groeschel says, If you are not dead – then you are not
done!
The conversation goes
both ways, and we both have things to teach each other. Amen?
Be
obedient - tell of what the Lord has done. Amen?
