“As thy days, so shall thy strength be” (Deuteronomy 33:25).
This verse was given to the children of Israel just as they were about to enter the land of Canaan. They were to enjoy that good land that the Lord was giving them, and according to this verse, their strength would be the same as their days. That did not mean that they would never get old and become weaker. But it did mean that if they were obedient to the Lord, they would have strength to do whatever He wanted them to do, whatever their age.
As we begin another year, we do not know what the future holds, or how long we will be here. Probably most of you who read this are young, and are feeling strong and healthy. But there are even young people who do not always feel strong, and who cannot do everything they would like to do. However, we can go forward with confidence in the Lord, that He will look after us, and give us the needed strength for whatever He allows in our lives. Best of all, this may well be the year when the Lord Jesus comes and calls us home to be with Him!
