Psalm 102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord.
What if we had not the writings of the Old Testament?? The promises of God's faithfulness in Holy Writ? How dull, lifeless, boring that life would be.
It is an awesome thought that we, today, could impact a generation that is not even born yet! What a concept!
Even more, What a responsibility!!!
Our writing today could impact somebody generations from now to praise GOD. Think about it!
I used to be really good at, faithful, at the task of journal-writing. Then there came a time in my life when even I didn't want to write/re-read the stories I had to tell. This verse challenges me though. I challenges me to start keeping a journal again. A journal that tells of God's faithfulness. A journal of Answered Prayers. I could focus on the goodness of God and tell of the triumphs through the bit of struggle that I have had. Write them down...so that the future generations may know what an awesome God HE was to their "Granny". I should start writing down stories of God's faithfulness to my little family that I'm blessed to have. How He's answered prayers for us. How He daily showers us with benefits. I could write of the daily miracles of life. A miracle doesn't always have to be that the deaf and mute finally hear and speak, but a miracle could be that God gave me the strength just to face the day, to triumph over certain fears, to praise in the chaos.
It's the little things that most often turn out to be the big things.
Write for the future generations, that a people not yet created may praise the Lord. Future generations will come---if the Lord tarries---and they need to know of God's faithfulness, love and miracles. They may never get to meet you, but by your writings they will get to know you and that God and His miracles are really real-life!
It doesn't have to be PERFECT to be BEAUTIFUL
