传于后世
“他必有后裔事奉他；主所行的事必传与后代。他们必来把他的公义传给将要生的民，言明这事是他所行的。”
诗篇 22:30-31
诗篇22篇是一首弥赛亚式的哀歌，但又充满盼望。诗人大卫当时经历着磨难，但他仍然为后代祈祷祝福。他预见到那一代人无私的信仰和奉献，会给后人带来丰盛的恩典。
大卫看到将要生的民，是上帝的产业，将是最重要的一代。大卫预见到当代活着的世人，要为将来的世代做好信仰的充分预备。一代人把信仰传给下一代人，要这样代代相传。大卫相信，当代人面对所处的环境时如何反应，也必然影响下一代人将来如何反应。我们的后代也必事奉耶和华。
今日祷告：
耶稣，就在祢要上十字架献上祢的宝贵生命之前，祢也一样在客西马尼园为将来的世代祷告。阿们。

Future Generations
Future generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord. His righteous acts will be told to those not yet born. They will hear about everything he has done.
PSALM 22:30–31
Psalm 22 is a messianic lament that is intermingled with hope. Even though the writer, David, is going through terror, his song offers a prayer of blessing for future generations. He envisions a time when his generation’s unselfish faith and sacrifice will produce abundance among the generations who are yet to come.
The unborn take a place of importance in David’s vision. They are, perhaps, the most important generation to be considered in the foundation being established. David foresees that those alive today should consider the practice of faith of those yet to be born. One generation is to equip the faith of the next, who in turn equips the faith of the next, who in turn equips the faith of the next, and so on, for generations to come. David believed that how people respond to their circumstances today impacts how generations not yet born will respond in the future. Our children will also serve him.
Pray for the Day:
Jesus, right before you gave your life on the cross, you had the same attitude when you prayed in the garden for future generations. Amen.
