What is the secret to flourishing in old age?

Alexander Strauch explores the biblical insights on aging, emphasizing that those who are planted in the house of the Lord will flourish. Being part of the Lord's community provides security and growth, enabling believers to bear fruit even in their later years. Strauch shares his personal aspiration to remain fruitful as he ages, highlighting the importance of the Holy Spirit's presence in keeping one's spiritual life vibrant and alive.

Strauch also discusses the natural process of aging, noting that while the physical body may decline, the inner self is renewed daily through active engagement in the Lord's work. He reflects on the joy and personal growth experienced through ministering to others, particularly those nearing the end of life. For Strauch, staying rooted in the community of believers and serving others is key to maintaining spiritual vitality and bearing fruit throughout the aging process.

Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV): "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."
