"The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing"
13Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing"
Psalm 92:12-14 NKJV
You're never too old to serve God as there is no retirement in the Kingdom of God. Look at some of the mighty people of God we read about in the bible; some like Moses, didn't really start their ministry until he was 80. At a time when most people have retired and relaxing in their garden, Moses was about to go on a bizarre mission to bring Israel out of captivity. Therefore, don't ever write yourself off and don't allow anyone else to do this either.
As a believer in the Lord Jesus, you are considered righteous and therefore will flourish like a palm tree. Now the roots of palm trees reach to hundreds of yards as they search for water. Their roots go deep and so should you. It's not over until God says it is so, write that book, start the bible study, start street evangelism or whatever. If you ask Jesus, He will tell you. And don't be afraid to preach if you are asked. Always be ready to give an account for your faith ( 2 Tim 4:2 ).
Set your love upon Jesus and Jesus will honour and deliver you. Whatever trouble you may find yourself in, He will be with you and will deliver you. Call on Him and He will hear you and answer you. However, God doesn't always answer us in the way we would expect. A footnote in the NKJV Spirit Filled Bible for Psalm 91:15 says;
'Although the psalmist (and reader) are not promised total immunity from calamities, the Lord assures us that He will be present with those who call upon Him and that, He will deliver and honour him' Psalm 91:15 Footnote Spirit Filled Life Bible NKJV
It is true that when we become older our energy level can become lower but gentle exercise is there for the taking. Not only can we do physical exercise but we can also keep our mind fit by studying the Word. And what's more, you don't have the problem of work pressures

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:
Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.
In Jesus' Name. Amen'
