As we age, we could become jaded and cynical, but is it necessary to become "grumpy old men"? It is hard to become wide-eyed as a child and not become weary, crotchety, old, "worn-out" saints. Non-chalance in old age can kill us, as King Asa learned when he established an alliance with Syria. Uzziah, also in his early years when he trusted God, was successful, but in his latter years when he arrogantly and presumptuously burned incense in the temple, he was struck with leprosy until his death. We need to be consistently praying and studying, remaining consistently humble and childlike before the Lord, not throwing away the character we have accumulated.
