When we are young, we can’t wait to grow up. When we are old, we look back longingly to the former years. But God intends that we joyfully take each season of life as it comes. Whatever our age, He imparts what we need to be all that we can be.
He asks us to commit our ways to Him and accept the struggles He allows and the strength He provides. “Why does God allow us to grow old and weak?” one may ask. I think it is because God has planned the strength and the beauty of the youth to be physical but the strength and beauty of old age to be spiritual. We gradually lose the strength and beauty that is temporary so we will be sure to concentrate on the strength and beauty that is forever. And so we will be eager to leave the temporary, deteriorating part of us and be truly home sick for our eternal home.
If we stayed young, strong and beautiful, we might never want to leave.
Are you in life’s spring time? Trust God’s timing to fulfill your dreams.
Are you in life’s summer or autumn? Face your daily challenges head on.
And if you feel winter’s chill, draw close to the Lord. His presence can make every season of life one of strength and beauty.
Whatever the season of life, altitude makes all the difference
