14 But as
for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. 15 My mouth
will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I
know not its measure. 16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts,
O Sovereign LORD; I will proclaim your righteousness, yours
alone. 17 Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, and
to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
18 Even when
I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to
the next generation, your might to all who are to come.
Commentary: As we
face the sunset years, we recognize that God has been our constant help in
the past. As physical powers wane, we need God even more, and we realize he
is still our constant help. We must never despair, but keep on expecting
his help no matter how severe our limitations. Hope in Him helps us to keep
going, to keep serving Him. A person is never too old to serve God never
too old to pray. Though age may stop us from certain physical activities, it
need not end our desire to tell others (especially children) about all we
have seen God do in the many years we¡¦ve lived. (NIV)
2. Honoring and Serving: 1 Ti. 5:1-8, 1 Do not
rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father.
Treat younger men as brothers, 2 older women as mothers, and younger women as
sisters, with absolute purity. 3 Give proper recognition to those widows who are
really in need. 4 But
if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all
to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so
repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God. 5 The widow who is really in need and left all
alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask
God for help. 6 But the widow who lives for pleasure
is dead even while she lives. 7 Give the people these instructions, too, so that
no one may be open to blame. 8 If anyone does not provide for his relatives,
and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is
worse than an unbeliever.
Commentary: Part
of the joy of the church as a big family is the presence of a wide range of
people with varied life experiences. The organic nature of the church
depends upon understanding and navigating important relationships. For
example, younger people should exhort older individuals with respect.
Clearly one should respect their father and mother, treat all older men
with the same level of respect. Younger men and women should be treated as
brothers and sisters with love. The church is a household of the family of
God. The Christian faith seeks to support those in need (v. 3b). For
example, God as the father of orphans and protector of widows. The psalmist
indicates that God gives those who have nothing a place to live (Ps.
68:5-6.)
Paul urges
us ¡§to put our religion into practice by caring for our own family and so
repaying our parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God¡¨ (v.
4b). One¡¦s faith should not be separated from serving the needs of the
family.
Perhaps
the strongest statement made by Paul is, ¡§Anyone who does not provide for
their relatives . . . has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever¡¨
(v. 8). The strong scriptural truth links faith with action. Two themes
are clearly set forth in this passage. First, Paul is interested in needs
being met. Second, honoring and supporting those in need is an expression
of faith. It is an affirmation of what it means to be a follower of Christ.
3. POINT: a. There are
no permissible generation gaps in love, respect, and compassionate
ministry. b. Men and Women. Young and old are to serve each
other
