Psalm 102

This will be written for the generation to come,
That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord. v.18

Read chapter 102
This psalm starts of with great distress and depression but then turns to how the Lord answered the psalmist's prayer.  There is great bitterness followed by praise to God.  There is physical hardship turned in to strength.  The psalmist declares that the Lord's mercy, lovingkindness, answers to prayers shall be recorded for generations to come.  How much in our history classes we learn of wars, famines, disasters that have been recorded for us to know and learn from.  We ought to write down too all of God's answers to prayers and His acts of lovingkindness and grace that we may remember and teach the next generation.  It's hard to forget God's favor when you've been in a state of depression and bitterness to be relieved from it.  When was a time you were in that state and now see the Lord's deliverance?  How can you share about it with others to bring praises to the Lord?  Try keeping a journal of God's answers to your prayers (what the prayers are, answers are, duration of those prayers, etc).
