Love and faithfulness keep a king safe; through love his throne is made secure. The glory of young men is their strength, gray hair the splendor of the old. Proverbs 20:28-29
If you live an average life span you will be around for a while. So many people get caught up with the number of how old they are. You turn 31 and freak out. Get to 40 even worse. Then look out for 50 and beyond.
Why dread your age. Be thankful for each year and each spot and wrinkle that pops up.
Every person is valuable in God’s eyes even though when you reach a certain number you may feel like your life is over. Only if you don’t change your attitude it is. If you are young respect those who have a few years on you. You could in fact learn from them. If you are ‘getting up there’ in years, don’t check out of society or having fun. You have lots to give and much fun to have. Keep learning.

Today look in the mirror and praise God for who He created you to be no matter what your chronological age. To God Be The Glory!
PRAYER: I thank you Lord for my life and every year of it I have lived. Help me continue to shine for you no matter how old or young I am. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

A very special message for all of us. God has given us these years of somewhat advanced age for His reasons. Peace and blessings.
