We are the future generation

"Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the LORD : 'The LORD looked down from his sanctuary on high, from heaven he viewed the earth,
to hear the groans of the prisoners and release those condemned to death.' So the name of the LORD will be declared in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem when the peoples and the kingdoms assemble to worship the LORD." -Psalm 102:18-22

I have really begun to love this verse, because WE ARE the future generation that was not yet created, but now is created, so we can praise the Lord because of these things: God saved us, He rescued us from the chains and bondages we were in because of sin. And we were supposed to die, but He relesed us from the prison that the devil had set up for us.

And now, we don't really think anything of it. Our generation has assumed that God saved us, so we are saved and that's it. But that's not it. We need to declared the name of the Lord and praise Him for everything He has done for us. We are to assemble together as one body and unite in one song with one heart to praise God for what he has done for us. And for those who have yet to figure out that they are in bondage and condemned to death, we need to be a light, and proclaim the goodness of the Lord to them. Because what if no one ever tells them about how they can be rescued like we were? we will see them one day, but it will be us looking down from heaven to the pit of hell, where they are screaming, "Why didn't you ever tell me?"

That's why we need to raise up this generation to be a generation of believers and basically be "freaks" for God! Whatever it takes, we need to be the hands and feet of Jesus. He did it for us, why can't we do a small thing for Him?

My dream and goal is to one day see churches, or more precisely, youth churches coming together to work as one. Praising and worshipping the King together. Now that's a beautiful picture.
