…so that your youth is renewed like the eagle (Psalm 103:5).
…they will be full of sap and very green (Psalm 92:14).
Eternal, lasting youth. Sound good to you?
This is better than anything cosmetic surgery can offer. This is a real makeover.
We are not talking about a second childhood or any such silly thing. We are talking about the Holy Spirit doing a new thing in an old vessel, the living God rejuvenating a veteran servant, the God of creation renewing His child and doing something fresh in him or her. Making you youthful.
And no, the image of recapping an old tire does not fit here. Or, plastering a toupee on a bald head. Or padding a bra. Or going in for cosmetic surgery. None of these images fits what the living God wants to do, intends to do, has promised to do in the life of His elderly faithful.
He will make you JOYFUL. Joy, in fact, is a big deal with God. In the words of C. S. Lewis, joy is the business of Heaven. Psalm 16:11 assures that “in Thy presence there is fullness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore.”
