avoiding the traps

It is now the end of Samuel’s life.
Things had not gone well, and that promising young man Saul had disappointed all of God’s people.
As Samuel entered his last years, he fell into the same traps that many seniors fall into.
Grieving for the past and mourning the good old days.
Fearing those whom he never feared before?
Judging people by their appearance?

Do we fall into the same traps that Sam did?
These are common responses for those of advanced years.

Sam had these feelings and fears. Yet he did not give in to them he obeyed the Lord and successfully completed his life’s work.
May we overcome these traps, just as Samuel did.
Don’t lose it now that you are so close to the finish line.
