Grave – Isa. 46:3-4 – How to Stay Young All Your Life

 This is Namma for Christ with the two hundred third inspirational message dated Monday, October 4th, 2021. The title of this message is “Grave – Isa. 46:3-4 – How to Stay Young All Your Life”.

The first word of this message’s title is also the title of the below inspirational song/video (with lyrics), “Grave” as sung by Christian group “Cochren & Co.”.  The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the Old Testament book of Isaiah - the third and fourth verses of the forty-sixth chapter:

Isaiah 46:3-4

New King James Version - (NKJV)

 

³ “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,
And all the remnant of the house of Israel,
Who have been upheld by Me from birth,
Who have been carried from the womb:
⁴ Even to your old age, I am He,
And even to gray hairs I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you. 

 Also - Please read the below verses (Psalm 92:12-15 NKJV) as referenced in the full message text -

 

¹² The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
¹³ Those who are planted in the house of the Lord
Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
¹⁴ They shall still bear fruit in old age;
They shall be fresh and flourishing,
¹⁵ To declare that the Lord is upright;
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

 

The title of this message also includes the words – “How to Stay Young All Your Life” – which is the “title” of the Charles Stanley “In Touch” Daily Devotional for (9/10/21) – which I have included below:

 

How to Stay Young All Your Life

 Psalm 92:12-15

By Charles Stanley

 

      OUR CULTURE IS OBSESSED WITH YOUTH. Products abound that offer better health, fewer wrinkles, and increased energy, but these address the issue of aging only in superficial ways; nothing alters the fact that our bodies grow older. Feeling old, however, is not inevitable – with the right attitude, we can be young at heart no matter what our chronological age may be. We do this by cultivating …

-       A GOD-CENTERED FOCUS. Keep your mind on the things above rather than on earthly things (Col. 3:2). See each day as an opportunity to trust God more fully, love Him more deeply, and serve Him more joyfully.

 

-       AN ACTIVE PURSUIT OF LEARNING. 

    Never stop learning from Scripture. Long for the Word the way a baby craves milk so you can continue to grow spiritually (1^st Peter 2:2 - see below)

 

1^st Peter 2:2

New King James Version - (NKJV)

² as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you grow hereby,

 

-        A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK ON LIFE. 

    Let Godly thinking shape your attitudes. Be joyful, thankful, and prayerful (1^st Thes. 5:16-18 – see below).

 

1^st Thessalonians 5:16-18

¹⁶ Rejoice always, ¹⁷ pray without ceasing, ¹⁸ in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

 

-       AN OTHERS-CENTERED ORIENTATION

     Don’t let yourself withdraw into self-absorption.     Instead, invest your life in others for their     spiritual encouragement and growth (see verse 11 below).

1^st Thessalonians 5:11

¹¹ Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

Staying young while growing old begins with your mind. So never stop learning, laughing and loving God with all your heart.
