Psalm 92:13-15. “Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; to shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him."
FRUIT IN OLD AGE.
We are not finished yet when we reach old age – There is a lot we still have to give. It may not be youths’ strength, but we can become a sage – Helping those behind us to know how to live.
For instance, thanksgiving: how does one his thanksgiving show To the Lord God whose form we have never seen? We express thanks in words, but so others around know – It is important to show outwardly what is within.
Praise is a little different, for it needs a joyful sound That it might have real meaning to the Lord. The words are important, and when heard by those around – They can also add to the volume through their words.
Service has many forms; not all service is intensive labor – Or many would be excluded from the work. White heads bowed in prayer, or doing a simple favor, Are two of many ways older folks can do their part.
Worship from the heart doesn’t need a lot of words – But does need preparation of the mind and soul. Saying what one really means in spirit and in truth, By the Word of God establishes true worship as the goal.
The experiences of years add depth to our advice – The fruit I seek is to see young saints develop in their growth. Lord, if there is yet some way I can be of a little service – Grant me wisdom to pass on what You let me know.
“O Lord God of old people, I believe I am ready to do what You know I am able to do. If it is small or great, or if it means a work at home or abroad, I pray I will be willing to put my hand and heart into the work of Thy kingdom. I feel like I wasn’t really fully prepared last night, and I sincerely apologize for that. I pray that today the truth Thou hast shown me will be able to be better expressed. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
