I am of the opinion that there aren’t any bigger blessings in old age, than good health, but even more than that, nothing can come close to a healthy spirit and a soul longing to meet the Lord. Have you lived completely? Has you life been a constant struggle due to material shortcomings perhaps? Has your body’s aches and pains gotten the better of you?

Do not be dismayed for the Lord knows every need you have. Some might prosper in this life in their finances, but remain poor in their spiritual journey, while those who fully seek the Lord, will enjoy His blessings in many other forms…

Entering the promised land

“Then the Lord said to him, ‘This is the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying… I will give it to your descendants’;
I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there…‘” (Deur 34 v 4)

When we have reached that ripe age where it could be our time to depart this life and transition to the next, having enjoyed the blessings of our old age, surely we do not want the Lord to deny us entry into the promised land? Why wait until our eyes have dimmed and the hearing has declined and our brain is slowly starting to shrink, causing our minds to become disconnected from reality?

Choose the path leading to everlasting life while you are still young. Ask the Lord to open your spiritual eyes and ears and to give you the mind of Christ. Dedicate the latter part of your life to God and be prepared to work for His kingdom, which is not of this world.

May the Lord bless you and keep you and may this seed cause abundant growth in your life.
