Old Age’s Fruit

Psalm 92 Because of the sin in the Garden, all that grows, both flesh and plants will wither and die. That was the consequence of the sin of Adam and Eve. It is hard to watch the things we love die, parents, siblings and animals. It is hard to put a precious pet to sleep and it is all because of the sin of our first parents. But, into this scene we find the psalmist shouting these words of encouragement; “The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon, Planted in the house of the Lord, They will flourish in the courts of our God.They will still yield fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and very green.” [Ps 92:12-14] 

Yes, sin has cast a pall upon all living things, but God sent His Son to make a way to make us righteous so we can yield fruit as we age.  So with that in mind, what fruit are you yielding for those around you before God calls you home to heaven?
