OLD AGE
I Kings 1:1
"Now David was old, advanced in years; and they put covers on him, but he could not get warm."
David was experiencing the sunset years. The margin says he was 70 years of age. Old age has its positives and negatives. On the plus side, I get senior discounts, a slower life-style, no pressures at work, and I can blame all my foibles on my "advanced age." It also brings impaired mental and physical abilities as my body declines. David apparently had some circulatory problems that made him feel cold. His body was slowing down. I recognize that I can't do things I could do as a young person. But all things considered, I am enjoying my old-age. I live in the present with the days God has given me, and am looking forward to permanent "retirement" in heaven.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: Old age brings perks and problems, but it just means that one is that much closer to heaven.
[end]
Have a "today" day. Love you.
