“They say I am growing old because my hair is silvered, and there are crow’s feet on my forehead, and my step is not as firm and elastic as before. But they are mistaken. That is not for me. The knees are weak; but the knees are not me. The brow is wrinkled; but the brow is not me. This is the house I live in But I am young – younger than I ever was before.”
“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.” (Isa. 40:3131But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)).
We long and pray for spiritual vigor. Our rest is awaiting us, and our Home is on high with our blessed Lord. His coming draws near.
