A Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 22
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
A posterity shall serve Him.
It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation, They will come and
declare His righteousness to a people who will be born, That He has done this
(Psalm 22:30-31).
From the moment of the fall of
the human race in the garden, God’s redemptive work of forgiveness and
salvation began to be revealed…And the story continues to be told from
generation to generation.
At the end of the 19th century
an organization called Gideons International was formed. One of their goals was
to place copies of the Bible in public places such as hotels, hospitals, and
prisons.
Approximately 50 years later a
Bible was placed in a Las Vegas hotel room by a member of the Gideons. My
father, an Orthodox Jew, was staying at that hotel. He was gambling in the
hotel casino but became restless. He returned to his room, and to his surprise,
discovered a Gideon Bible in his nightstand. Curiously, he began to read. The
next morning, after stealing the Bible and hiding it in his suitcase,
he checked out of the hotel.
Six months later, he was reading
in the book of Isaiah. As he read chapter 53, his spiritual eyes were opened to
see that Jesus was the Messiah of whom Isaiah spoke. That day he became a
believer and a follower of his Messiah.
Since that time the
salvation that he found in Jesus Christ has been heard and received by his
children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. From generation to
generation, God’s light continues to shine. As Psalm 22 declares, “This is a
work that God has done.”
Insight: How much does Jesus
love you? He loved you to death!
Insight: Jesus’ suffering upon
the cross was for you so you could be forgiven and have eternal life. Be His
light to your generation. “May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of
His suffering.”
Green Pastures. Quiet Waters. Righteous Paths.
