I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
Psalm 37:25-26 (KJV)
The Psalmist testifies of the unchanging character of God which lasts for us and for our children. Scripture affirms the Psalmist's observation: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).
God's loving kindness will outlast my earthly existence; it will continue to my children. “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies never come to an end” (Lamentations 3:22). Thank God for this security! “From everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” (Psalm 90:2). I can be confident that what He has been for me, He will be for them -- and I pray even more so!
Truly, He has “been our dwelling place throughout ALL generations.” (Psalm 90:1). What a great reassurance this is -- the God I love and serve will be the same to my children: Savior, Healer, Defender, Friend, Comforter, Provider . . . we rightly call Him the Rock of Ages. Hallelujah!
Dear Jesus, the world my children grow up in will be different than the world I grew up in, as my world is different than the world of my parents’ generation. Yet I have confidence in this: no matter the times, no matter the society, no matter the state of the world, You are utterly unchanging. Your love is unstoppable. Time only serves to carry forward the redemptive plan you had from the beginning. I praise You that my children will blessed to know that, throughout the generations, the LORD never forsakes the righteous. In Jesus’ name, amen.
