Offer of the Older

Read:  Psalm 71 / Proverbs 8 / 1 Samuel 1 /Luke 12 

Psalm 71:18,19 Now also when I am old... O God, forsake me not; until I have showed thy strength unto this generation... to every one that is to come... O God, who is like unto thee!
Proverbs 8:11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
1 Samuel 1:27,28 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him: therefore...
Luke 12:20-21 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

I know that I am growing older,
Yet while the Lord shall give me breath,
My offer should be wiser, bolder
To show His truth before my death. 

I prayed for children, whom God gave,
And now I am responsible
To show them Christ who died to save
And satisfy their hungry soul.
