One of the saddest truths of our modern culture is that we have burdened the young with hopelessness. We taught them that they are a quirk of nature … one day in the distant past millennia some pond scum crawled out and life began. We led them to believe that there is no God and there is no purpose in their creation.
That means they not only have no past, no purpose, but they also have no future, no accountability in this life to anything except their own wants and desires. This world is a dark place when there is no hope, no light, no purpose in life.
Psalm 22 is a song of David, and it begins with the words Jesus cried from the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
It is a song that begins in sorrow but ends with promise. David declares, “I will praise you in the great assembly…. All who seek the LORD will praise him. Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy. All the families of the nations will bow down before him…. Future generations will hear about the wonders of the LORD. His righteous acts will be told to those not yet born.” [vs 25-31 NLT]
In a world of darkness, believers live in the promises of God. It is vital that we, who dwell in the light of Christ, share that light with those who are still bound in the dark.
It is vital that future generations hear about the wonders of our LORD. Amen&Amen
