PSALM 90:10 (NLT)
Seventy years are given to us!
Some even live to eighty.
But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble;
soon they disappear, and we fly away.
PHILIPPIANS 3:10 (MSG)
I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally, experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to death itself.
THE ESSENCE
We purpose to go all the way with Christ, even to death.
DAILY FODDER
Do you ever think of what the end of your life might look like? Perhaps you are saving money during your working years so you'll have enough to live on when you can no longer work. What does it look like to be old, past your prime health, and living for Christ?
PRAYER
God of the ages, the beginning and the end, even in my old age I praise you. In some ways this is uncharted territory for me, but I realize that it's all going according to your plan. Forgive me for allowing the issues that come with age to discourage me. Keep me focused on serving Christ today, whatever that looks like. I'm traveling with you to the end. That’s all that matters. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
