God Will Sustain Us

 

“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you.”

—Isaiah 46:4a

“Getting old is not for the faint of heart!” So said an older friend of mine more than two decades ago. As I have reached ever closer to the golden age of 70, I have found my friend’s words to be very true.

Even if you are reading this and you still feel the vitality of youth, let me assure you that your day is coming. In a blink of an eye, you will soon begin to feel the aches and limitations of aging. Health is so very important. Everyone takes health for granted until something happens that affects our well-being.

Fortunately, God has promised to care for us throughout the various seasons of our lives. His love doesn’t stop when we reach old age. In fact, the Prophet Isaiah recorded these words of promise in Isaiah 46:4:

Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

No matter what our age, we can rest in the promise of God’s provision for our lives. His love endures forever. He continues to extend His grace and mercy in every time of storm or blessing.

Let’s begin this day with thankfulness that God has promised to love and care for us every moment of this day. We can step out into our workaday world knowing that the King of Kings has our back—and all the rest of us, too.
