Psalm 70:17-21
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.
Here I am, Lord, to do Your bidding in declaring Your might and power to the next generations. Gray hair certainly, but You have called me to be a witness to the two following generations, especially those at risk, those whom have fallen into society's disfavor. Help me to lay this out, to plan to move forward in this task, to focus on going to the Jerusalem that You have set before me. that it should be the legacy of my life in You.
