Gen. 25:8 good old age.

A godly person will live to be of a good old age.  The question arises well how come good people die young.  By passing the answer that God takes some home early,  we have the understanding that if you are a Christian and do make it out of here you are blessed knowing you will spend eternity with God.  That is all we need to know.  If we walk in God's will we will be blessed--from God.  Everything belongs to God.  Our very breath comes from him.  It is a shame that the point is forgotten that if you have to wait while living here, you should make the best preperation for going there.  Rewards will be according to faithfulness to the Lord.  A wasted life is only due to selfishness.  My wife and grand daughter brought cookies and love to people in the nursing home.  The people they gave cookies to may be their enemies.  The bible says bless your enemies and do good to persecutors.  Matt. 5-7.  So we can do good if we apply ourselves.  Elderly people sit in chairs bored and doing nothing because they give up. They do that partially because they feel no need to good anymore.  Others I have seen in very old age doing good still and they are happy.  Abraham did good in his old age even till his end.  It says he was blessed.
