The Final Years of the Patriarch Genesis 25:1-11
What are some things that you would want to be sure you have completed before you die?
Read Genesis 25:1-11
Abraham was around 140 years old at this point. Does it surprise you that he had another wife and many more children? Do you think this fits in with God’s plan for him?
How did he treat all of his children when he died? (vs.5-6) Why did Isaac get everything he owned?
What made Abraham’s life “long and satisfying”? What makes our lives satisfying?
Where was Abraham buried? Why is this significant?
How should we prepare for our final days? How should we live our final days?
Read the prayer of the Psalmist in his final years - Psalm 71:5-18. Read the promise of God in Psalm 92:12-14. How do these passages impact you?
Pray
Ask God to help you to “number your days” and be wise to finish well.
Pray that you will keep Him first in all that you do and in your planning for the future.
Pray for those who may be struggling in their final years to have a new perspective and be faithful to the end.
