Producing Fruit in Old Age

 Scripture:

“But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭92‬:‭12‬, ‭14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

In these verses the Psalmist maintain a word picture of what it is like for those who are godly and righteous. He says they are like palm and cedar trees. He says that even in their old age, they will produce fruit, remain vital, and green. There are descriptions of a godly individual.

Application:

As I get older, I long to remain effective, fruit producing, vital, and green. I have no desire to retire and focus on my self and pleasure. I want to produce fruit for the Kingdom of God until the day Jesus calls me home, through the rapture or through death. I desire greater fruit in my latter years. I want to walk with God and source fruit for Him, then go see Him. When He is done producing fruit through me, I want to go see Him.

Prayer:

Father, I love You! You are the best. Let my life be an offering to You for Your purposes. Help me to live a yielded life to You in every area. Let me be fruitful until the day You take me home. I don’t want to grow old and go to the grave slowly. I want to win souls and make disciples until You are finished with me, then be brought into glory. Hear my cry today.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
