David Jeremiah uses lessons from the life of Caleb (Joshua 14) to talk about growing older yet still growing spiritually.
"When we stop serving God, we stop growing spiritually. We stop being involved in what God has for us. We lose the edge on our spiritual life. I don't know any Christians who can sit back, retired from all Christian service, and maintain a vital healthy relationship with God. Involvement is part of our spiritual growth, and it doesn't stop no matter how old you are."
David Jeremiah, The Lonely Senior, Overcoming Loneliness.

11 I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I'm just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. 12 Now give me this hill country that the LORD promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the LORD helping me, I will drive them out just as he said."
13 Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance. 14 So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since, because he followed the LORD, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly.
Joshua 14
