GROWING IN THE LORD!​

Isaiah 46:4 – Devotional

Isaiah 46:4

“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you.”

I once read an article that mentioned an elderly man. I was stunned to read that the man was two years younger me. If he was categorized as an elderly man, what does that make me? I guess the answer is in the eyes of the beholder!

My mom used to have a rental property behind her house. A widower lived there and she always referred to him as the old man. One day I challenged her by reminding her that he was three years younger than she was. Oops!

When I observe people who appear to be about 35, I wonder, at what point are they no longer considered young people? That is a tough question. In our modern age of youth worship, many hold onto a depiction of a young person until it screams!

Can I let you in on a little secret? It is okay to allow yourself to mature (that’s a kind word for getting old). We need the experience and solidity that comes with experience. Many people in Scripture found the greatest blessing in their latter years. I have come to the conclusion that age must not limit our effective ministry. We need to put our shoulder to the wheel and be more effect in serving Jesus each and every day.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
