Dear Friends,
My grandmother, Mildred, is 90 years young. She lives by herself in Greenville South Carolina in the same house that she and Papa bought when they were first married many years ago. Grandma glows with the light of love and seems to defy the years she has spent on this earth. Today’s devotional addresses the weakness of our bodies as we age, yet highlights the inner strength that comes with a life lived in Christ. I pray it blesses you today and every day as you grow in faith. Love, Scott

I Am Your Living God, far more abundantly alive than the most vivacious person you know. The human body is wonderfully crafted, but gravity and the inevitable effects of aging weigh it down. Even the most superb athlete cannot maintain his fitness over many decades. Lasting abundant life can be found in Me alone. Do not be anxious about the weakness of your body. Instead, view it as the prelude to My energy’s infusion into your life.
As you identify more and more fully with Me, My Life becomes increasingly intertwined with yours. Though the process of aging continues, inwardly you grow stronger with the passing years. Those who live close to Me develop an inner aliveness that makes them seem youthful in spite of their years. Let My Life shine through you, as you walk in the Light with Me.
Colossians 1:29 29To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.
1 John 1:7 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood ofJesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
