Fruit in Old Age

On January 6, 2019, I committed to publishing a blog every day. This is blog #500. As I wrote back on January 31, the miracle comes in the daily motion of writing.

It was you who supported me from the day I was born, loving me, helping me through my life’s journey. You’ve made me into a miracle; no wonder I trust you and praise you forever! Many marvel at my success, but I know it is all because of you, my mighty protector! (Psalm 71.6, 7, Passion Translation)

Psalm 71 is the psalm of old age. I’ve quoted verses 17 and 18 before. Here’s another:

Now that I’m old, don’t set me aside. Don’t let go of me when my strength is spent. (Psalm 71.9, Passion Translation)

I can’t do as much or as fast as I used to, but I’m still praying for enlarged territory. I can meet with men. I can write…another 500 blogs! (Those who blog every day say the first 1,000 are the hardest. So we’re halfway there.) Thanks for joining me on the journey. 

They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green. (Psalm 92.14, NIV)
