The last two chapters of Ecclesiastes address old age. Because I personally have the greater part of my life behind me, such passages get my attention.

Yesterday while listening to a gospel music channel on Directv, I heard Karen Peck sing “Finish Well,” a song challenging all Christians to maintain fervent faith and diligent service to please the Lord while aging. It really impacted me.

“Finish well, every day that we are given, finish well for the glory of His name
Finish strong until the Savior finally calls us home.
Give it everything we have, finish well.”
