“Even
to gray hairs I will carry you.” Isaiah 46:4
For forty years my wife and I have
been going to the same annual Bible conference. Years ago there were many of us
with hair, mostly hair that was not gray. Oh, there were plenty of older folks
as well, but there were a lot of us who were just whipper snappers. We took our
children and now they bring our grandchildren. But what we see more and more of
is gray hair. Why do all of us old people keep attending?
Because, quite simply, God doesn’t
practice age discrimination. Jesus rebuked His disciples for practicing age
discrimination against the young. “Let
the little children come unto me.” But He also tells the aged that they are
also welcome. We haven’t worn out our welcome with Him by just growing older.
Nor will we wear out our welcome if we become so old that we become infirm not
only in body but in mind. Even to our gray hairs He will carry us and then on through eternity.
Dear Father, Thank You that we are
yours until the end of our days. Amen.
The
Friday Benediction
Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop
you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in
the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be
enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend. Amen
