The Psalmist declared that the righteous, those in right standing with God through Christ Jesus, would still be productive even when they are old. That makes me think of my parents.

David is 94 and Mildred is 91. I talk to them nearly every day. They are still so pleasant and fun talk to. They really minister to people. God brings the Hospice staff to their home multiple times a week. Dad will sing to each person while mom plays the piano or organ. The hospice chaplain, a young minister, asks dad theological questions. They have members of the family who respect their walk with the Lord visiting them for comfort and counsel. Old friends and church acquaintances call or visit to fellowship about the Lord. They still have a meaningful ministry.

I think of the hymn, “Trust and Obey:”

When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still, (even in old age)
And with all who will trust and obey.

READ/HEAR: Ps. 91-95
