Written by Dr. Bill Bagents - Luke 2:25-38, God’s promise and kindness to
aged Simeon and Anna.
- Acts 2:16-21,
quoting Joel 2:28-32. God foretold that old men as well as young men (and
men as well as women) would have a part in His unfolding plan of
salvation.
- The fact that
Moses was 80 before returning to Egypt to deliver the people. You don’t
get too old to lead, serve, work for God.
- 1 Peter 5:5 with
Leviticus 19:32 and Proverbs 16:31. The old deserve the respect of the
young.
- Isaiah 46:3-4.
The God who carries us and protects us when we’re young, does the same for
us in our old age. He doesn’t forget or forsake.
- Genesis 24:2,
which servant did Abraham choose to find a wife for Isaac? “The oldest,
who ruled over all that he had.” Why? Job 12:12, when things are right,
“Wisdom is with aged men, and with length of days comes understanding.”
