The Psalmist then prays the the Lord will bless you all the days of your life and that you will live to see your children's children.
You gotta know that as an expectant grandmother, that line caught my attention in a hurry. There has been little else in my life that has stirred such anticipation as awaiting the arrival of my grandson this October. I'm already so eat up with it, that I can't imagine what it is going to be like seeing him in the arms of my daughter, holding him in my own arms. I can hardly wait! What a blessing indeed.
There has also been very little in my life that has driven me to prayer like this little one. I wish I could say that I prayed for my children this hard when they were growing up. I certainly prayed for them...but not like I'm praying for this one. Praying that he will know Jesus, that he will sing songs of praise one day, that he will make the most important decision of his life and surrender to Christ.
In fact this is a Psalm that we could all pray over our children and grandchildren...join me, won't you?
