There
is a beautiful passage found in Psalm 71:14-18 that tells us how we should live
our lives, and share what God has done.
As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and
more. 15 My
mouth will tell of your righteous deeds, of your saving acts all day long though
I know not how to relate them all. 16 I will
come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord; I will proclaim your
righteous deeds, yours alone.17 Since
my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous
deeds.
Look
what is said in the next verse about sharing with
younger generations.
18 Even
when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to
the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.
Those
of us that are over 55 should take special note of this verse. We feel sometimes
as we get older that we’ve done our share, or we’re ready to sit and soak in
our churches. This is not Scriptural! Craig Groeschel says, If you
are not dead then you are not done! This past Sunday was Back
to Church Sunday. Some that were invited, but couldn’t make it. Follow up or ask someone anew. We all have
someone we need to talk (invite) to this week.
The
conversation goes both ways, and we both have things to teach each other. See
you in church. Amen?
