Three Tired Old Men .Numbers 11:14-17;I King 19:4-13;Jonah 4:3-11Are we just supposed to put our feet up and rest on our success when we retire or does God have a better plan for the golden years of our lives? God has a master plan and how He uses the events of the final days to reveal His glory and draw the lost to Himself even if your old and tired with life’s journey. David said I was once young and now I’m old, yet I’ve not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed baking bread. But how it must grieve the heart of God when we act as though God cannot take care of us.Bitter trials are the normal experience of human life. They confront us all, and they perplex and puzzle us. We often ask, “Why has God let this happen to me?” You can look at all three of these men and, before they prayed and asked God to take away their lives, every one of them had a deep, emotional, psychological problem: Moses, a people problem; Elijah, a pity problem; Jonah, a pout problem. Moses had his eyes upon others, Elijah had his eyes upon himself, and Jonah had his eyes upon circumstances, but none of them had their eyes upon God.
