Living Well Aging

Whether we like it or not, lots of things change as we age: our joints start to creak, our muscles weaken, and we lose coordination. Our bodies simply don’t look or perform the same each decade of life, and our risks for various diseases and medical conditions also increase as the years do. Getting old may be inevitable, but feeling old is not: we can age well and maximize each decade of life if we do the right things at the right time.

We often hear it said that the word “retirement” is not in the Bible (except for Numbers 8.23-26, but this was a very special case). It’s true, because we don’t retire from being Christians, and Jesus doesn’t put any age limit on His command to share the Gospel and make disciples (Matthew 28.18–20). There’s nothing wrong with capping years of service in a job or with a company and looking forward to spending more time with family and friends, and doing things we always wanted to do but didn’t have time for.

Scripture is filled with examples of men and women whom God used late in life, often with great impact—Noah, Abraham, Moses, Elizabeth, and Anna, to name a few. They were ordinary men and women who discovered that the latter years of life can be some of the most rewarding and fulfilling. “For them, growing older wasn’t something to be denied or dreaded;” says Billy Graham, “it was to be embraced as part of God’s plan for their lives.” Billy Graham’s life and ministry have been dedicated to the here and now but always with a happy-ever-after in view.
