Recently I watched that old John Wayne movie, Big Jake. It contains all the usual western fare: fist-fights, unbelievable shooting, steely-eyed grit, and bad guys that you love to hate. But this movie also has an element to it that men of a certain age can appreciate. Jake, the John Wayne character, is far from young, but he can still shoot strait, has fists of iron, and faces down outlaws half his age.
He reminds me of Moses.
Deuteronomy 34: 7 describes the great leader at the time of his life. "Although Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died, his eye was not dim, nor his vigor abated." His vigor was a sign of God's blessing. Especially those of us of that particular age need to pray that God will give us strength to do what He wants us to do, for as long as He wants us to do it.
It's STTA.
