It’s common in our world today to dread getting old. We often fear death and idolize youthfulness. But God sees age as a sign of blessing, of a life well enjoyed. God has a high calling for senior saints, both in ministering to their spiritual families and their natural families. In God’s economy, elder saints are invaluable to their younger brothers and sisters in the church. Older believers can pass on a legacy of wisdom and faithfulness to the next generation of believers in their church and in their own families. Physically, we may wither as we grow older, but in his grace God bears fruit from the righteous in their old age.
