MY FAVORITE BIBLE VERSES ABOUT BEING AN OLD MAN

I am now 75 years of age. In other words, I’m old. I like what some Bible verses say about being aged. Sadly, these don’t apply to every man, but I do hope I am included in the following descriptions; at least I try to be.

1.  We have wisdom and understanding.

 Job 12:12 (NKJV) “Wisdom is with aged men, And with length of days, understanding.”

2. We are righteous and flourishing; bearing spiritual fruit; declaring God’s nature and love.

Psalm 92:12-15 (NKJV) “The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree; He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.”

 3. We are found following God’s way. Even if we have little or no hair instead of silver hair.

Proverbs 16:31 (NKJV) “The silver-haired head is a crown of glory, If it is found in the way of righteousness. “

 4.  God is with us until our dying day, and then He will deliver us to our mansion in Glory.

Isaiah 46:4 (NKJV) “Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.”

 5.   We can also be responsible and be an example in both word and deed to Glorify Christ.

Titus 2:1-2 (NKJV) “But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience.”

If you’re still younger, this is what you can look forward to when you reach a ripe old age.
