Main Thought:
We remember the blessings of God from our youth and know that He will continue to sustain us. So we praise Him and speak of His righteousness to the coming generations.
Psalm 71:17-24
O God, from my youth you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come.
Your righteousness, O God,
reaches the high heavens.
You who have done great things,
O God, who is like you?
You who have made me see many troubles and calamities
will revive me again;
from the depths of the earth
you will bring me up again.
You will increase my greatness
and comfort me again.
I will also praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have redeemed.
And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long,
for they have been put to shame and disappointed
who sought to do me hurt.
Prayer
Lord, our Father in heaven, thanks be to you that You awakened the reformers to restore to Christendom the Gospel of Your Son, Jesus Christ, and have preserved unto us the knowledge of Your saving truth, that we may steadfastly continue in Your Word, and may escape the snares of these evil days. Amen.
