The other day, one of my students asked me, "Are you living to die or dying to live?" As time seems to pass by quicker and quicker, we may feel the impacts of getting older. Even though we are getting older, we do not have to focus on dying!
It is true that our physical bodies will eventually "waste away," but we are more than just our physical bodies. We can take heart that God will renew us each day. Our spirits can be strengthened as we learn about God and grow in our faith and relationship with Him. No matter how old we may become on earth, we can prepare our spirit for eternal life with God. Instead of worrying about getting older and dying, we can be living with God for eternity!
No matter how old you may get, learn from God and prepare for eternal life!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for renewing and strengthening my spirit. Help me to always turn to You each day for continued renewal. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
