Psalms 71:17-18 (ESV Strong's)
O God, from my youth you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come.
Tag; From Old Age to Youth
The role and responsibility of those who have grown old is to teach the truths of God’s word. In old age we are not to look for retirement and ease. We are to find a way to teach the youth the knowledge of God. When the old aged does not teach God’s Character and God’s promises and plans, there is a void and a gap created that should not be there. The aged are not supposed to step away from this one responsibility. They might be able to step away from a “job,” but they can’t and should not step away from teaching the younger generation about the power and promises about God. Notice Caleb’s approach for old age:
Joshua 14:11 (ESV Strong's)
I am still as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me; my strength now is as my strength was then, for war and for going and coming.
