They shall still bear fruit
in old age; they shall be
fresh and flourishing.
{Psalm 92:14}
An old familiar saying goes
goes something like this:
"Old age is a matter of mind over matter.
If you don't mind, it doesn't matter!"
Far too many of us hit middle age and put the
body in neutral. And Christians too often put
their service for Jesus Christ in
the same inactive mode.
Each of us has a responsibility to God, as long as He
gives us physical and mental strength, to work
heartily "as to the Lord" {Colossians 3:23}. We are never
called to retire from life and coast home to heaven.
The psalmist said that the righteous "shall still bear fruit
in old age" {Psalm 92:14}. For those who are physically
able, that means continuing in active service. For those who
can no longer move about, that means being active in prayer
and in quiet service.
Let's make sure old age doesn't stop us from bearing fruit.
We need to keep going for God.
To stay youthful, stay useful!
