Generational Ministry

 Scripture:

"Now that I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God. Let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me." (Psalm 71:18)

Observation:

This powerful verse speaks from the heart of a person who had served God a long time and wanted to keep being used of the Lord. As he was getting older, he wanted to be able to proclaim God's power to the next generation. He wanted God to use him until his dying day. 

Application:

The older I get, the more I want to impart to the next generation. I'm starting to think more generationally instead of things only being about me, I want to see God do things through those who will follow me. I don't want to grow old and feeble. I want to preach of God's miraculous power for as long as He lets me live. I want to be a bridge to the next generation of the power of God.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, You are great and glorious! You are all-powerful. There is none like You. Let me live long and be strong till the day I see You. Let my life bring You glory and honor now, and as I age. I want to let generations behind me know of Your awesome deeds. You have done so much in my life at this point. I want to share that and more with those coming behind me. 

I'm Yours,

Jeff
