Carried in Every Age
Scripture
And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
KJV · Public domain in the United States · Text provenance: Project Gutenberg eBook #10
Devotional
The fear of becoming dependent can grow louder with age. God answers that fear with a promise built from repeated words: I will bear. I will carry. I will deliver. Your need does not make you an inconvenience to the One who made you. Receiving care can require as much grace as giving it. Let others help when help is needed. Make wise plans for health, finances, housing, and support, but do not let planning become an attempt to eliminate every possibility of need. Human independence has always been partial. God's faithfulness is not. The hands that carried you through earlier seasons have not weakened with time.
Reflection
What kind of future dependence am I most afraid to place in God's hands?
Prayer
Faithful God, quiet my fear of need. Help me plan wisely, receive care graciously, and trust that You will carry me. Amen.
One Small Step Today
