Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come. Psalm 71:18
Have we picked a date for our retirement? People try to get their financial situation lined out for stopping work at some point. The way the economy is today, some are changing their plans. Unfortunately, some people also look at a time when they will retire from church work. When we are old and gray it seems nice to "kick back" and take it easy. Here the Psalmist has a different hope for the future. He asked the Lord’s continuing help until he has declared God’s power to the next generation, and to all who would come after. We seem to be having a problem with that task that far overshadows our financial downturns. May I suggest we adjust our prayers for retirement, to prayers of renewed effort in His kingdom until our job is done.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
