2 Samuel 19:31-40
The Story
King David returned to his throne in Jerusalem.
Some were pleased and ready to receive him; others were not that glad.
Barzillai was 80 year old.
He came down to welcome the king home with great joy and happiness.
When king David was away in exile, he was instrumental in seeing that the king's needs were met (2 Samuel 17:27-29).
He was still serving the king when he returned.
Barzillai was old yet he kept living, giving, and working for the king.
Lessons
Will we be found working for Him when He returns?
Do we continue to serve the Lord God with faithfulness?
Will we be found living, giving, and working for the King when we are old?
Remember...
Some Christians will be found living, giving, and working for the Lord God when He returns.
And the Lord God will bless their faithfulness to Him.
Stand our ground for Jesus and keep fighting for the glory of the Lord.
And we will receive our victory crown.

That is a very good and honest question. As for me and my hubby we will continue to work in his institution as long as life prevails. Nothing is so difficult with God as your colleague.
