Psalm 102:18 Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the LORD….
Reread Psalm 102:18 again and let that verse sink in. It was written about you and me and all those who come after us. How profound to think that the author of this text had us in mind when this text was written, knew we would stumble and struggle and need encouragement, knew that we would read these words and praise our amazing God.
Psalm 102:25 In the beginning You laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
Life follows certain patterns. Struggle and the need for encouragement are definitely two biggies. I pray that I can live my life and my struggles in such a way “that a people not yet created may praise the LORD….”
Psalm 102:26 They will perish, but You remain; they will wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them and they will be discarded.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for the reminder that You are eternal and that while struggle and doubt and the need for encouragement are universal life patterns, Your love, grace, and mercy are everlasting truths. Help me live my life in such a way that others can see Your presence in my struggles and be encouraged. Draw us closer. Amen.
Psalm 102:27 But You remain the same, and Your years will never end.
Have a blessed day.
