Psalm 92:10-15

Psalm 92:10-15
New Century Version (NCV)

  Aging is a challenging thing for us.  It's easy to look at aging and be afraid, to think that each day is gone and never can be recovered.
  But here, the Psalmist tells us that faithful ones will still produce fruit in their old age, and I think this is part of the reshaping of aging that the church needs to do.  Aging isn't something to be afraid of, because death isn't something to fear--death is a transition into eternal joy and light, and so aging is simply part of our journey that is growing us up into maturity.  As we grow, we learn wisdom along the way, and we learn how to serve others in new ways.  Our service looks different as we age, but if we look at aging as a process to be embraced rather than escaped we can look for opportunities rather than dread the fact that there are things we cannot do.
  So may we look to the future with hope, and may we look around to see how we can continue to serve others with whatever we have.

May you see the world today as God sees it
