And hello there, and greetings from my senior citizen of Hartman, this great thing with you. It's wonderful growing old with Jesus, and I'm 71 now, and I have to tell you younger people that he is faithful, and he will provide and care for you. So trust him through all the seasons of life, and if you've gotten off course, get back on course. There are many blessings, and he's leading you back to him, but how wonderful it is to know God, and to be blessed in life, knowing God. It says, in Psalm 39, O Lord, make me know my end, and what is the measure of my days? Let me know how fleeting I am. Be old, you've made my days, a few hand breaths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath. Surely a man goes about as a shadow. Surely for
nothing they are in turmoil. Man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather, and now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you. And that's how it is for those of us who know Christ. Our hope is in him. And I like the hope that Job expressed, he says, in Job 13, 15, though he slay me, I will hope in him. And then in Psalm 119, 81, my soul longs for your salvation. I hope in your word. And for those of us who have the faith of Christ, that's how it is this hour, right? We're hoping in his word. And Romans 1513, may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace and believing. So that by the power of the Holy Spirit, you may abound in hope. I like this, don't you? In Romans 1513, yes, he not only fills us with hope, but he makes us abound in hope. Yes, only Jesus can do that. But thank God
for growing old with Jesus, because it's full of hope. And if you're old and no Christ, I invite you to call out to him for forgiveness and to accept his sacrifice for your sins. And if you're young and you're in the same boat, call out to him. And if you've gotten off the path and have not been walking with God, call out to him right now. And the God of hope will fill you with all joy this very hour and also peace and believing. So that by the power of the Holy Spirit, you may abound in hope. And that's it for this podcast. And do you remember that Jesus loves you? And he is just a prayer away.
