Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. — 2 Corinthians 4:16
While we joke about growing older, the challenges of aging are tough. We realize our mortality. Our bodies can betray us. We can't do what we once could do. As Christians, we know that our aging actually brings us closer to home and to the time when Jesus gives us immortal bodies not subject to decay. God can help us use these physical realities to be heavenly reminders of what is important. With the help of his Spirit, we can be transformed to be more like our Savior and to be more ready for our heavenly home!
Scripture for Charity
. Ecclesiastes 11:1
Cast your bread upon the waters,
For you will find it after many days.
. Psalm 37:26
He is ever merciful, and lends;
And his descendants are blessed.
. Isaiah 58:7-8
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;
When you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
One of God’s Great Don’ts
Psalm 37:8
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
Do not fret—it only causes harm.
