Today we read from Joshua 13:1-14:15 in the One Year Bible. Joshua is 85 years old! But he says he can still fight like he could when he was young.
One thing I've noticed in life is that age is often a matter of attitude. I've met 90 year olds who were healthy and full of vigor and life, and I've met 19 year olds who were done with life and ready to get it over with. If we think that we're too old to do anything new or worthwhile, then we make it so. But if we continue to have the attitude throughout life that we can always try something new or learn a new trick, then life becomes much more interesting and fun.
God, thanks for reminding us that even though our bodies might get old, our spirits can always be young.
