June 19 – Next generation – Psalm 71:18
The Psalmist is now reflecting on their life. They know that one day they will be old and gray. They ask the Lord not to forsake them. When our strength is ebbing and failing we can still rely on the Lord. One thing we learn from the Bible is that age is not a factor in serving the Lord. Moses was called at 80, Abraham was commissioned at 75, Sarah bore a son at 90, Caleb told Hebron at 85 and Haggai began his ministry at 90. So never think that for a moment you will retire. Refire yes but retire no.
The cry of the psalmist was that he could change the next generation. He wanted to be a teacher and mentor for the next generation. That was John`s point of view when he wrote his books. The psalmists desire was to declare the Lord`s power to those that were coming up. Today become renewed, restore and refired. Say Lord, `Give me your power, authority, anointing, and enablement today.` Then receive it and change your world and the next generation.
