(Mission Cast) “All My Life You Have Been Faithful” (Psalm 71:18 Luke 2:36 38)
Jeff & Mim are joined today with special life-long friends, Doug and Kathleen. In our early years of marriage, Doug & Kathleen served with Student Ventures, the high school ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. Together we served the youth in the Minnetonka, Minnesota area.
Today we examine the psalmist’s petition to the Lord to be given the grace to declare the Lord’s steadfast love and power to the next generation. And the example of both Anna and Simeon, two elders who prayed night and day in the temple, awaiting the revelation of the Lord’s Messiah in Jesus.
We reflect on the “gray hairs” in our lives who strengthen and encouraged us in the Lord. We pray that as gray hairs ourselves, we might be encouragers of a younger generation. We pray for the opportunity to share our hope with others until the day the Lord calls us home. May we all reflect on the goodness of the Lord. He is faithful!
We close with a popular contemporary song from Bethel Music “The Goodness of the Lord.”
