in the time of old age

IMG_0606Psalm 71

This is a song of an aging man, who has known much trouble but can testify that God has been his refuge all the way.  It is a plea for the LORD to keep supporting and comforting his servant, so that the next generation can see and hear and know that God is real.  The longer one lives as a believer, the more he feels fear that some terrible wrong may interfere with his life and testimony.  After committing to the LORD, the last thing we want is to fail him, and ruin our chance to bring others into his kingdom.

LORD, preserve us, so that we can declare your praise to the coming generations.
