Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Psalm chapter 92 versus 14 and 15.

They still bear fruit in old age.

They are ever full of sap and green.

To declare that the Lord is upright.

He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. I love this picture at the very end of

song 92. It's talking about verse 12 says the righteous flourish like the palm tree grow like a cedar in Lebanon

planted in the house the Lord flourishing in the courts of our God and then you get to

verse 14 that says they still bear fruit in old age.

Talking about the righteous, they are ever full of sap and green.

And based on this picture, I want to lead us to pray today for brothers and

sisters in Christ who are in old age, which may be you as you're listening to this right now,

and obviously all of it is relative, but when you hear Psal 9214, they still bear fruit in old age.

You might think, oh God, I pray for that in my life.

As I grow older, I want to bear fruit.

And I want us to pray this over older sisters and brothers in

Christ that we know in our lives that we know in our churches that we would pray specifically in light of

Psalm 92 verses 14 and 15 for their fruit bearing

in even greater ways in older age than in younger ages that they would be ever

full of sap in green and that they would declare that the Lord is upright, that with the unique opportunities

that old age affords, whether it's wisdom learned over time or even thinking about for many at least in my

country an opportunity to retire and to have extra time more flexible time to make the good news of God's grace and glory known in the world.
