📖 Moses was 120 years old when he died, yet his eyesight was perfect and he was as strong as a young man. —Deuteronomy 34:7 The Living Bible
Getting older doesn't have to be a bad thing. Many times, when we think of getting older, we see ourselves getting weaker. Many have the expectation that their sight will get worse as they get older. Many believe that their health will decline as they get into their seventies and eighties. That is not the image that God has for us. You don't have to be sick to die. Many believe that everyone has to die of something. That wasn't the case for Moses. That wasn't the case for Abraham either. The Bible tells us that "Abraham breathed his last and he died at a good old age, an old man who was satisfied [with life]; and he was gathered to his people [who had preceded him in death]"(Genesis 25:8 AMP). When it was time for Moses to die, he climbed a mountain and God buried him personally. Moses died at the age of one hundred and twenty. You don't have to waste away. You can live long and you can live strong. You can flourish in your old age. You don't have to age based on the world's standards. You have the life of God flowing in you. You have the Greater One living on the inside of you. The anointing abides on the inside. Live long and live strong!
