God blessed me with an early retirement at age 54 and since then I’ve been on numerous mission trips at home and abroad. Had the opportunity to be involved in many activities for the Lord that wouldn’t have happened if I was still working. My goal is to work for Him until He takes me home.
The passage you quoted is really not related to retirement but pretty much the importance of money in ones life. There are a number of things not mentioned in Scripture that exist. Do we live like Amish? Should we not save money? How about medical care? Are we living too long? No, it all has to do with ones love and commitment to Gods will/plan and His glory. If God leads, retire from your job/ministry and enjoy your life with our Father.
Im sorry Herb, but its hard for me to see you ever retiring. You will work for Jesus until the day He returns. I think it will be soon, according to Scripture and prophecys in both the old and New Testament. Gods blessings
