There are, perhaps, an infinite variety of ends to which the sons of Adam may live their lives. Not so for the heirs of salvation, theirs is a single minded compulsion to live and proclaim the excellencies of Him whose mercies are everlasting from generation to generation, "And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, until I declare Your strength to this generation, and your power to all who are to come" (Psalm 71:18). What more can a man do for those who will continue upon the earth after he departs than to direct their hearts to the LORD of their existence, to counsel them that the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and that any other foundation is sinking sand? Oh LORD, empower and direct Your people today in proclaiming Your kingdom and righteousness. To the praise of Your wondrous Name.
