Pour your strength into the next generation

Moses was 120 when he died, but his eyes were clear and he was as strong as he ever was (Deu 34:7). This is clearly the exception, not the rule. Moses was granted supernatural strength and longevity to accomplish a mammoth task from the Lord. Most of us have to wear glasses of ever-increasing strength while adjusting to ever-diminishing abilities. The problem is, we still see ourselves as twenty years old. We live in a denial and have a hard time adjusting. The key is to graciously accept reality and continue to contribute by training the next generation (the “Joshuas”). They will still yield fruit in their old age; they shall be full of sap and very green (Psa 92:14).
