My dear Brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless everyone in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Isaiah 46:4, “Even to your old age, I am He, and even to grey hairs I will carry you, I have made and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.”
My dear brothers and sisters, God says, “I am the same; I remain unchangeable with the same tenderness, same affection and same care. I am the Lord and I do not change.” God wants you to return to Him in case you have backslide or you have gone far from Him. Man may change due to various reasons; but it is not so with God. He who watched over the infancy of His people with so much solicitude, would not leave them in the exposures and infirmities and trials of the advanced years of their history. The people of Israel always needed His protection and care.
Secondly, He will never leave nor forsake them. Thirdly, He who has been the God of child hood, will also be the God of old age. The above statement refers to Gods hand of protection over the aged in particular. Psalm 102:27 says, “But You are the same. And your years will have no end.” The eternal and unchangeable God remains the same in His love and affection, in His sympathy and care, in His power and protection in His promises, truth and faithfulness, to His people, even in their last days. All God’s children are safe in His hands.
I wish to encourage the elderly people of God to be rest assured of Gods providence for you. Even when you go through pressing infirmities God supports you and cares for you. He considers you as His sons and daughters, the workmanship of His own hands. He is interested in your well-being. Therefore He says, I will bear you, I will carry you, and will deliver you out of all affliction, all temptation and even from the grave so that your soul is delivered. Love the Lord for He hears your voice. He hears your cry for mercy when you are in great need and delivers your soul from death. God says, I will be your God throughout your lifetime. Therefore, draw close to God put your confidence in God. He will rescue you from all your problems. He is a God of promise. His promises are true. For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen. You can rely on Him at all times.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Lord, for you care for the young and the old alike. You are awesome in your works. Your love endures forever. Though we are poor and needy yet you think upon us. Therefore we praise your Holy name. Help us Lord to commit our life into your hands and trust in you at all times. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
