'God's purpose for us is to show, as we get older, that he gives us
his strength and, through our experiences of him, his wisdom,' says
Ian Knox. 'God is not finished with us. In our later years we are
not only to be blessed, but to be a blessing and bring a blessing.'
As we get older, some of us grow more frenetic in our anxiety to
demonstrate that the force is still with us. Others withdraw, often
quite abruptly. What is God's view of ageing? The Bible has much to
say, and many stories to tell, about those who did great things,
those who did ordinary things well, those who prayed, those who
used their gifts, those who suffered, those who went right to the
end - and those who, in later years, got it absolutely wrong. How
are we going to face the prospect of ageing? Will we subside, give
up? Or shall we view retirement as a gift from God, an opportunity
to reach out to others? Our older years are full of possibilities,
not least of which is that of helping others find Christ.
