Sal. 71:9 Ps. 71:9

Viernes 7 de mayo
No me deseches en el tiempo de la vejez; justamente cuando mi poder está fallando, no me dejes (Sal. 71:9).
Es necesario tener en cuenta cómo se sienten a veces nuestros hermanos mayores. No es extraño que de vez en cuando los invada la tristeza por no poder hacer lo mismo que hacían cuando eran jóvenes. Si usted es una persona de edad, ¿se ha sentido así alguna vez? ¿Piensa en ocasiones que Jehová lo ha abandonado? Es posible que el compositor del Salmo 71 se sintiera de esa manera en sus últimos años de vida, pues le pidió a Jehová: “Aun hasta la vejez y canicie, oh Dios, no me dejes” (Sal. 71:18). Claro está, Jehová no iba a abandonar al salmista, y tampoco lo abandonará a usted. En otro salmo, David expresó su total confianza en la ayuda divina (Sal. 68:19). Tenga la seguridad de que si se mantiene fiel, Jehová estará a su lado y lo apoyará día tras día.

Do not throw me away in the time of old age; just when my power is failing, do not leave me.—Ps. 71:9.
Showing consideration for the feelings of older ones is essential. It is not unusual for the elderly to be deeply grieved by their inability to accomplish all that they were able to when they were younger and healthier. If you are an older person, have you had such painful feelings? Or are there times when you feel that Jehovah may have abandoned you? The psalmist may have had similar feelings in his later years, for he petitioned Jehovah: “Even until old age and gray-headedness, O God, do not leave me.” (Ps. 71:18) Of course, Jehovah was not about to abandon the composer of that psalm, and He will not abandon you. In another psalm, David expressed his confidence in God’s support. (Ps. 68:19) Rest assured that if you are a faithful elderly Christian, Jehovah is with you and will continue to sustain you day by day.
