                                           He Will Carry Us Home

"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."
                                                                                          ~ Isaiah 46:4

  "The year is very old, and here is a promise for us all, as age creeps over us. Let us live long enough, and we shall all have gray hairs; therefore we may as well enjoy this promise by the foresight of faith.
  When we grow old, our God will still be the I AM, abiding evermore the same. Hoar hairs tell of our decay, but He decays not. When we cannot carry a burden and can hardly carry ourselves, the Lord will carry us.
  He made us, and He will care for us. When we become a burden to our friends and a burden to ourselves, the Lord will not shake us off, rather He will take us up and carry and deliver us more fully than ever.
  Let us not dread old age. Let us grow old graciously, since the Lord Himself is with us in fullness of grace." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
