Preparations to save the age and future generations
Psalm 110:3 Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy majesty, from the womb of the dawn you will receive the dew of your youth.

God has called the ones with the Gospel and has prepared to save the age and future generations in this desolate age. However, many people live difficult Christian lives and have a hard time enjoying the Word and praying. God desires for us to relay the covenant to our future generation and to shine the light of Jesus Christ to the whole world. What should we prepare for this age and future generations? We must come to an answer by looking at David’s life.
1. What to prepare in your daily life
David praised God and meditated on the Word joyfully when he was out in the field in his daily life. He met Samuel later on, the Lord’s Spirit came upon him, and God’s plan was fulfilled. If you prepare your specialty and skills on a daily basis with the Word and prayer, you can devote whenever God desires to use you. The preparation for world evangelization is not something you can do in one day. If you equip yourself with the Word and prayer every day and do your best in whatever you do, you will be used to fulfill God’s will.
2. What to prepare before a crisis
Although David defeated Goliath and succeeded, many crises came after the victory. However, David did not resent God. A crisis is an opportunity to enlarge your vessel and a time schedule to find disciples hidden by God. Even if there are difficulties, just concentrate on finding the hidden disciples and proclaim the Gospel. When you prepare your faith and your spiritual vessel before a crisis, all problems will become an answer and difficulties will become platforms.
3. What to prepare to the best
Morning dew may seem like nothing, but plants cannot live without it. We who have the Gospel are like this morning dew. God desires to save the age and save lives through us, though we are small and weak. You must know why God has saved you and called you, and prepare to the best whatever you do. When you do your best and pray to be the top in your field, God works with His power that transcends your power and limitation.
