DEALING WITH OUR AGING

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:
12	So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13	Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants.
14	Satisfy us in the morning with your lovingkindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15	Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, For as many years as we have seen evil.
16	Let your work appear to your servants; Your glory to their children.
17	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.
