Isaiah 46:4
English Standard Version (ESV)
even to your old age I am he and to gray hairs I will carry you I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.
Last night I tried to watch the Grammy Awards and as I watched the performers, I didn't recognize anybody but the Beatles. Most of the music I didn't understand and some of it I found to be distasteful in the lyrics as well as the image the music and performer attempted to portray.
As I approach my fiftieth year of life I wonder if I have grown to old to accept new things, and if I have become that old person that I made fun of in my younger days? In my younger days I considered fifty to be old, but as I approach it I consider it to be young.
For those of us that are growing older, do we find it harder to accept new things and do we find ourselves lost in our own generational space? The answer to this question at least for myself is maybe, but it also brings me to the knowledge that the Lord was with be in my youthfulness and still stands with me in my middle age as well as my future years.
Beloved, as we were born with God, crawled with God, walked with God, and will be carried by God, we will have God with us all the days of our lives. Additionally, because of Christ Jesus we will have this relationship for an eternity that will never grow old and will be as fresh as the day when we were born.
My prayer for all of us as we grow older and feel left behind or passed over by modern society, is in the understanding that God is with us always. As the music changes, as the world changes, the love of Christ Jesus for His people and his Word has not changed nor will it ever change.
Blessings and Peace
Pastor Tim
