Scripture
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

Devotional
God's picture of later life is not one of spiritual decline. It is fruitfulness: a life rooted deeply enough to keep giving. Fruit may be seen in your patience, your prayers, your ability to listen without rushing, or your willingness to love people through their unfinished stories. The world can celebrate youth and speed, but the kingdom treasures ripened character. The fruit of a long walk with God can nourish people who are hungry for steadiness. You do not need to compete with a younger version of yourself. Let your roots go deeper. The Lord can make your later years a season of quiet abundance.
