I will be Your God throughout your lifetime-until your hair is white with age. I made you and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.
Isaiah 46:4
NLT Bible
Growing old is inevitable and we cannot hide from it or escape it. Many people go to extreme lengths to hide their age, but if only they would recognize that aging is a privilege and a gift from God. There is absolutely no reason to deny one's age. Instead, we should celebrate every year that God has blessed us with and make every moment count for Him. Even though physical ailments and limitations may come with the aging process, we should never let it hinder us from being productive and useful for God. He made us and has promised to take care of us and be with us throughout our life.
Many benefits come with growing old. We are wiser, more experienced, more compassionate, more knowledgeable and have so much to offer to the younger generation. Every day should be an opportunity to be of service to God and others. This can only happen as we spend time in the Word and in prayer, allowing the Holy Spirit to renew, refresh and energize us. It may not always be easy to do some of the things we once did, but we have to keep on trusting and appropriating God's promise to always be with us and keep living life to the fullest, allowing God to use us for His Glory until He calls us home.
Thank you Lord for Your promise to always care for me. My desire is to love and serve you all the days of my life. Help me to use every opportunity to share Your Word and be of service to those around me. I love you, Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
Lydia
