How we deal with aging and dying becomes increasingly important, as we advance in years. The birth rate of most nations is down. This is a crisis not only for the growth of a nation, but for its survival. “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” (Genesis 1:28 KJV). Not simply replacing two parents with two offspring, but multiplying, increases the population. This is a prime directive for prosperity. When we age, we are not alone, unless we never truly understood the Good Shepherd. “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27). If our spiritual walk is only facts and doctrines, then old age is fearful, because we are walking into the great unknown, only hoping our religion will keep us for eternity. But, we need not be afraid of the dark, the unknown, or the enemy, if we walk with the Lord, so that our innermost being cries out: “That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death” (Philippians 3:10). Unless Christ is necessary for our very life and breath, then He is not essential at all. LORD, teach us now Your necessity that later, when the darkness closes around us in death, “I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me” (Psalm 23:4). You are the Good Shepherd. Lead us Home to Heaven. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen and amen.
