Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.

Proverbs 1:5

How do you feel as you “get older?” What changes do you experience as “you age?” Now, wait a moment. As near as I can tell, I’ve been “getting older” since the day I was born. That’s simply the process; that’s how it works!

It is a matter of how you approach that query; of how you approach life. Is every day seen as an adventure? As a great opportunity to explore the boundaries of new experiences? To use the gifts that the Lord has poured out on you? Many years ago, instead of ending my letters to people with “Sincerely,” I changed it to, “Always growing in Jesus!” In my octogenarian years, I have been gifted time to explore new hobbies and ventures; time to study the Bible and how it gives powerful meaning to life. Such a blessing!

Lord, what a grand gift it is to grow in you and to investigate the boundaries of your world. Amen.

Reflect: Try learning something new today. Remember, God is always present with us.
