DEALING WITH OLD AGE
Psalm 90:10 tells us: "As for the days of
our life, they contain three score and ten years or if due to strength they be
fourscore yet their pride be labor and sorrow; for soon it is gone and we fly
away"
So what's old age? God's Word--the Bible is telling us that three-score and ten years (70 years) is old, and four-score (80) years is due to extra strength than we are indeed in a special time-period because it is becoming more common to reach four-score and ten (90) or five-score (100) years old.

2Corinthians 4:16-18
Therefore we don`t faint, but though our outward man
is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.
| |
For our light affliction, which is for the moment,
works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;
|
|
while we don`t look at the things which are seen,
but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are
temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

PSALMS 90:
|
|
So teach us to number
our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
|
|
Relent, Yahweh! How
long? Have compassion on your servants.
|
|
Satisfy us in the
morning with your lovingkindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our
days.
|
|
Make us glad for as many
days as you have afflicted us, For as many years as we have seen evil.
|
|
Let your work appear to
your servants; Your glory to their children.
|
|
Let the favor of the
Lord our God be on us; Establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish
the work of our hands.
