You feel them every day, the aches and pains of aging. It may be your back, hip or knee, but the pain is there, a constant reminder that we grow a little older every day and, with aging, comes the inevitable breakdown of our physical selves.

You can only have so many replacements, even with modern medical miracles. But don’t be discouraged.

The Psalmist wrote (Psalm 73:26), “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

Yes, someday we each will take our last physical breath, but those who trust in the Lord will be renewed and enjoy the new life given as a result of His mercy and grace.

Knowing this you can overcome today’s discomfort, for it is only temporary, while God will be your guide forever. What a blessing to look forward to! Pastor Jim.
