Aging Fruitfully

Is the aging process a concern to you? Do you wonder what you are supposed to do as you experience the second half of your life? Will these later years be a productive time in your relationship with Jesus and in the culmination of your service to the Lord?

The Ultimate Reason

Are you concerned about what life will be like for you in your later years? The words of Psalm 92:12–15 have brought enormous encouragement to me regarding that question. "The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the LORD [you and I] shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh [full of oil or sap] and flourishing [green], to declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him."

One significant point of this passage is that the word flourishing appears three times. Make no mistake. God's promise to you and me is that we will flourish and be fruitful in our advancing years. In and of itself, that promise provides tremendous hope. But the final verse gives us the reason why God wants to keep us productive.
