Psalm 71 – Old and Grey, a reflection
As we get older we often have times when our bodies tell us to slowdown. Spiritually we need such times so we can bring the story of our faith journey alive.
My security rests in you, O God; let me never be put to shame. By your saving power deliver me, hear me and keep me safe.
Be a rock of refuge for me to which I can always come.
Keep me safe from the power of the wicked, from the grasp of the cruel and unjust.
As long as I can remember, I have put my trust in you.
I have leaned on you since birth, when you brought me out of the womb.
Keep close when my energy fails me as I spend my last years on earth. Let me wait in constant hope and praise you again and again.
