Seniors are watchmen called of God to be ready to share the Gospel with wisdom to stop the plans of the devil.

This is the time of life when men are able to instruct the next generation from their own experiences, naturally and spiritually. Mature men have the opportunity to reflect on the issues they have encountered in their lives and share with others what God has taught them.

Peter’s exhortation to the elders, leaders of the Church.

Message Bible

1 Peter 5:2-11

²Here’s my concern: that you care for God’s flock with all the diligence of a shepherd. Not because you have to, but because you want to please God. Not calculating what you can get out of it, but acting spontaneously. ³ Not bossily telling others what to do, but tenderly showing them the way. ⁴ When God, who is the best shepherd of all, comes out in the open with his rule, he’ll see that you’ve done it right and commend you lavishly. ⁵ And you who are younger must follow your leaders.

It’s the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. ¹⁰ The suffering won’t last forever. It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ – eternal and glorious plans they are, He will have you put together and on your feet for good. ¹¹ He gets the last word; yes, he does.

⁴Each man will sit under his own shade tree, each woman in safety will tend her own garden.
