Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, "I have no delight in them"; Ecclesiastes 12:1
This little know passage gives us a picture of life after we are "over the hill". When we are young, we think we will never get old and ill, and we’d rather not think about it. God gives us a poetic picture of the body falling apart. Arms, legs, teeth, eyes, voice, hair, and fears. I don’t see doctor visits and hospital stays in the list, but they certainly should be there. It is urgent that we all establish our faith in our Creator when the times are good, so they will sustain us in the evil days. When we grow in spirit each day, even though the outer man decays, the inner man gets younger every day. Our spirit then gives us the joy we need to counter balance the ills we face. God’s Spirit; don’t get old without it.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
