In the Western world, the culture of “disposability” and “profitability” leads us to believe that old age is a period of dependence and incapacity. A person’s value is determined by how well they perform in society. In contrast, biblical wisdom honours the elderly. While the world claims that old age is an enemy to be fought, the Bible reveals the opposite. Psalm 92:14 says of the righteous: “In old age they still produce fruit; they are always green and full of sap.
Naomi’s journey leads us to reflect on the meaning of old age. Youth brings us health, friends, possessions, offspring, and hope; old age, on the other hand, gradually takes away many of these things. We may feel empty, alone, and destitute, and we go through a thousand little deaths. Naomi will triumph in her inner struggle. Like her, we are called during the time of old age not to give in to a narrow vision of life but to believe that God has “plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope” .
Old age lived with discernment and faith qualifies us to help younger generations discern the beauty and meaning of each chapter of their own story, even if it sometimes seems disjointed.
