Scripture makes it clear that when we are obedient to God’s word, those attitudes and actions bring blessings on us and those around us. Since we want our nation to be blessed with His healing, then we need to read and follow the instructions.
Much of scripture is devoted to the concept of “aging”. It describes activities that will shorten our lives as well as things to do that will lengthen our days.
How should a Christian live knowing the scriptural information we have about Heaven? On one extreme is that perspective that nothing else on this earth really matters. “Only what’s done for Christ will last”. All else will be burned up as “wood hay and stubble”. Or should our primary focus be the Great Commission, sharing the gospel with the unsaved and heaven simply be the afterlife?
As the Spiritual gardener, God’s goal for us is spiritual maturity, bearing fruit in our lives. During this process, He wants us to grow, mature and be healthy. Think about how this pruning applies to you spiritually as a Christian.
God remains faithful, the same Lord. That is a good perspective compared to these days that are filled with uncertainty. To the Christian, reality is that God is the same yesterday, today and forever.
