Leaving a Legacy
[David said]“I have been young, and now am old...” ~ Psa. 37:25
This is the Psalm of the old man. It is manna to the soul of the one who reads it and heeds it. David has passed through life. He has had the opportunity to observe and experience. The years of excitement and fears of youth have long passed, along with the challenges and temptations of midlife. “I am now old.” I’m standing on shore and realize that in the near future I will be leaving behind loved ones, friends, and a new generation.
There is something sad when a man must say, “I have been young.” The mature strength of manhood is no more. All the wishful hopes and plans of that young life are gone forever, along with its fanciful fantasies. Yet there is a rewarding compensation in the latter years. The old man has been where the youths are; but they have never been where David is now. He has a wealth of wisdom to bequeath to them if they will only lend an ear and absorb what the old man has to say.
The greatest legacy a man can leave is one that helps the next generation on to God.
