Seniors With Purpose
As I write, Judy and I are in Branson with 34 seniors from South Texas. We have had an absolute wonderful time.
The go carts were a little touch and go, but otherwise, we have enjoyed some wonderful shows and we’re looking forward to this final day that will end with a dinner cruise on table rock lake.
The centerpiece for the trip was the Sight and Sound Theater’s production of “Queen Esther”. An absolutely amazing, too difficult to describe, portrayal of the biblical account of this amazing young lady, whom God positioned to save the Jewish people.
Esther ultimately realized that she was placed in this incredibly high position for “Such A Time As This”.
With several thousand people in attendance, the production was ended with a very powerful altar call, inviting people to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. But, we were all reminded that we are here, now, for such a time as this!
In the story, Haman devised a plan to destroy God’s people! But God through Esther turn the tables on Haman!
We are watching, such vile and evil plans unfold right before our eyes. The works of Satan, John, 10:10, are literally thrown in our faces every day. The gloves and mask are off! It’s blatant, vile and obvious! probably more so to Seniors who have lived through so much change in our world!
Here is the thought for this article. While there is so much life to live and the Joy of the Lord is still abundant, you are not where you are without opportunity to be “Light and Salt” in your areas of influence, “for such a time as this”!
Seniors, are especially enriched through life experience to be “Living Letters”, Biblically uncompromised, Holy Spirit led, examples of Jesus Christ, beginning with our families and extending into our culture and indeed to our world.
Come on! “No Coasting to the Finish Line”! You are specially positioned to combat the enemies onslaught of putrid, destructive sin. Like Haman, Satan has targeted your family, our children and our Godly values. We are, no doubt, here, like Esther, for such a time as this!
While Seniors With Purpose will continue to provide some wonderful opportunities for enjoyable and, yes, fun times, we will always be challenged to keep our eye on the ball and be who we are called to be!
