WHAT’S YOUR RETIREMENT PLAN?
The psalmist asked that the Lord not abandon him when he became old and weak. He knew that the Lord had cared for him since birth, but he wanted to be sure that the Lord wouldn’t forget him in his final days.
As we age, we die by degree. Our sight needs correction and our hearing fades. Our joints lose flexibility and our hair grays. Each day seems to hold a new decrease and decline.
Yet, we may still increase in the Lord! The time of old age can be a time of spiritual advance. While the body fails, the spirit may soar on eagle’s wings in the strength of our God.
PRAYER: Dear Father, we may grow older and weaker in body as we age, but work in us to make us stronger in Spirit. For we want to finish well for You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
