2 Samuel 17; Psalm 71; Matthew 26

Now That I Am 

Old And Gray

Do Not Abandon Me, O God. 

Scripture

Psalm 71

18 Now that I am old and gray,
    do not abandon me, O God.
Let me proclaim your power to this new generation,
    your mighty miracles to all who come after me.


Observation

Getting old and getting gray is going to happen to you too no matter how hard you fight it or try to cover it up!

It is a great time to depend on the God of our youth. King David found himself as an old man being hunted down by his son Absalom. He had to flee the city with a few of His followers and once again he went into hiding.

Are you feeling your age? Maybe you and I are looking around and wondering if we are still able to make a difference in our world?

Why don’t we pray this prayer back to God this morning? Let’s ask Him to continue to use us to change the lives of those around us!

Application

I will pray and ask God to use me to proclaim His power to the next generation. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Now that I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God.
 
Let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me.  Be my rock of safety where I can always hide. Give the order to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the clutches of cruel oppressors. 


O Lord, you alone are my hope. I’ve trusted you, O Lord, from childhood. Yes, you have been with me from birth; from my mother’s womb you have cared for me. No wonder I am always praising you!  

My life is an example to many, because you have been my strength and protection. That is why I can never stop praising you; I declare your glory all day long. And now, in my old age, don’t set me aside. Don’t abandon me when my strength is failing. Psalm 71
