BIBLE VERSE. ”The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.” —Proverbs 16:31
BIBLE THOUGHT: There are similarities between growing old and growing old in God. Aches and pains in places you never knew were there. The youthful look of our skin is not as resilient as it was. The wrinkles around our eyes and more things too numerous to mention. The difference between growing old and growing old in God is the Peace that rests upon your life and is noticeable even through the aches and pains of growing old. Growing old in God means that you have grown old in the Word of God. Job 12:12 says” With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.”–This is true if you have grown old in the Word of God. Philippians 1:21 says “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”—This is a blessing to those who are aged…if you have grown old in the Word of God. Our physical bodies are aging but our spiritual bodies have just begun to live. —This is true if you know Christ as your Saviour
DAILY THOUGHT: My prayer is that God will allow my mind to be sharp in the Word of God even to the end of my days. David says it best in Psalm 119:43 ” take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth.” My body may go but let my mind stay sharp in the Word of God!
