Psalm 70:9 ” Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.”

On a large part, Americans don’t honor the elderly among them as other cultures do. Many times we just push them aside…because they walk so much slower than us, are sometimes forgetful, and aren’t as useful as they once were. But thankfully God doesn’t look at the aged in the same way. Their bodies may be withered and their strength spent, but God says they can still bear fruit in old age, (Psalm 92:14) and He reassures them in Isaiah 46:4 that He will sustain them no matter how elderly. That’s because, God will never leave nor forsake us…however old we may become. (Deuteronomy 31:6)
