“The glory of young men is their strength, and the honor of old men is their gray hair.” (Proverbs 20:29)
There is a transition that happens in life from strength to wisdom. The transition is slow, but we all feel it as the years roll into decades. Tasks which were once easy become a strain, and muscles which once recovered quickly take much longer.
If we do it right, we are converting the strength of our youth into the wisdom to guide the next generation. Energy is replaced with perspective. Slowly, the role moves from being a player, to player/coach, to coach as one generation moves to help guide the next.
There is beauty in the strength of youth and the wisdom of old age, but the real power occurs when the two team up to serve God together.
