When some people get over 30 years old, they label themselves as old. They say they can’t stay up late, play an active sport, or eat a certain way because of their age. Unfortunately, those same people may have a tendency to say they can’t recall things like they used to or refuse to learn new things around 60 years old.
There are two scriptures that come to mind regarding our mentality as we get older:
Proverbs 23:7a For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…
Matthew 9:29b “According to your faith let it be done to you”
Those scriptures simply mean, whatever people believe, that’s what will manifest in their lives. If people believe they can’t do this or that because of their age or some other issue, they won’t be able to do that thing.
We are instructed to (and I choose to) believe the Word of God.
In Genesis 6:3, God promised us 120 years on the earth. According to Deuteronomy 34:7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. Since God does not show favoritism, and whatever He does for one He can do for another (Acts 10:34), I choose to believe that I will live a long, healthy, abundant life with great vision and strength.
It’s all about what we choose to believe. We can choose to believe the Word of God or choose to believe what we commonly see in the lives of the elderly. The choice is up to you.
