Stay Strong In The Lord by yommyuk: 9:00am On Jun 29, 2014
Our culture is obsessed with youth. The marketplace is flooded with products promising better health, fewer wrinkles, and trim physique. However, these will only touch the surface of our aging problem. Unless death intervenes, growing old is inevitable. Living old, however, is a choice. We each have to decide if we are going to flourish or dry up, grow strong or become weak.

Physically, we may have no choice in the matter, but we can be young in soul and spirit, regardless of our chronological age.
When a righteous man is firmly planted in the Lord, he’ll become fruitful in things that will last into eternity. We are never to retire
from bearing fruit. Rather, God wants us to abide continually in an intimate connection with Him. In that way, we can do the work He has given us to accomplish (John 15:4).

A righteous man will grow strong in the Lord like a cedar of Lebanon (Psalm 92:12). These trees can grow to a height of 120 feet with a girth of 40 feet. That is one strong tree! As we walk with Christ into our latter years, we can have the confidence and stability that come only from growing strong in faith.

Each year is an opportunity to trust God more and rely wholly on His Word. Staying young while growing old begins with your mind. Never stop listening to the Lord and learning from His Word. Allow godly thinking to shape your attitudes. Be thankful, keep laughing, and rejoice in your Lord. Above all, keep believing and loving Him with all your heart

Psalm 90:2
Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from the begining to the end, you are God.

Genesis 2:7
Then the Lord God form the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man's nostrils, and the man became a living person.

John 4:34
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

John 1:18
No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.

John 1:12
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,


It is well. God bless wink
