And hello radio friends! How in the world are you? You doing all right? Well of course I wait for you to answer. I like to know how you are. I trust everything’s going all right at your house.

We want to go on in this discussion of the matter of fruitfulness. Paul, the apostle said to Titus, “Our crowd needs to remember to maintain good works for necessary uses and that they be not unfruitful”. So, you and I got thinking about fruit and we stop long enough to say that you still can be fruitful in old age. That’s good for lots of us, isn’t it? “They shall still bring forth fruit in old age. They shall be fat and flourishing”. I don’t know how well you like the word fat, but in the Scripture, skinniness and scrawniness is associated with unpleasant and unfruitful conditions in life, and if a person were, well-rounded let us say, that meant that they were living well and doing well. That was a general use of that figure of speech person. Of course, in our day when everybody’s trying to lose all the weight they can, I suppose that’s an unpopular concept isn’t it, but the idea flourishing, prospering, being fruitful, it’s right there for us, and these are people who are planted in the house of the Lord. That is to say, your faith is solid your, your fellowship with your Lord is constant, your dynamic connection with His Almighty power is unspoiled, unsullied by anything that would hinder it. “You’re going to be fruitful”, says Paul, and the psalmist says, “Right straight through the end of your life you can be fruitful”.

Now, I’m talking to someone I’m sure who’s been discouraged with the passing of the years. The kids don’t write or even phone anymore, and the world seems to be passing you by, and you sort of heave a sigh and say, “Well, I guess that’s how it is, put the old man out to pasture and forget him”. No, it doesn’t have to be that way. Spend some time speaking with your Lord and listening to Him as the faithful, indwelling Holy Spirit whispers to your heart some things that you could do to be fruitful, to be a blessing in other words. You know when I go off the air I say, “Walk with the King and be a blessing”? Well, fruitfulness actually is the process of blessing others, isn’t it and of demonstrating in your own life the qualities of God’s own nature, the fruit of the Spirit.

So, if I’m talking to somebody who’s discouraged because the years are going by and the world seems be passing you by, and even the members of your own family have forgotten you, they’re too busy, well you don’t have to either be hurt or bitter about it beloved. Did you hear me? You don’t have to be either hurt or bitter about it. You can go right straight on and bless people all around you and have the joy of the Lord in your heart and the shine of God on your life. Oh that’s great. Planted in the house of the Lord, that is to say, your relationship with Him is firm, your fellowship with Him is constant and your contact with His power is unhindered by anything that would get between Him and you. Fruitfulness, even in old age.
