God definitely wants to use you – young or old, to show his power to the next generation.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. My friend Joan is 70 years old and retired, but she loves to volunteer at a small local high school. She may not be all up-to-date with technology, or know about the latest hit TV shows, but that doesn’t stop Joan from connecting with these kids. Joan knows these students need a role model – they need an older Christian to be their friend and mentor. It’s why Joan never ceases to pray Psalm 71 that says, “Even to my old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come.” Joan is doing just that, sharing Biblical wisdom and living a life of example. Friend, maybe you think you are too old – or too over the hill – to make an impact on the younger generation. Well, think again. Because God definitely wants to use you and me – young or old – to show his power to the next generation.
