THE HOPE OF HEAVEN READ: PSALM 71: 9-18 Psalm 73: 26 My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. A WOMAN IN HER EIGHTIES, was bedridden in a nursing home. When a preacher came to visit her, she asked him the same question she had asked of other preachers: Why am I here like this? Ive been a Christian for years and have always served God. I taught Sabbath School, sang in the choir, and brought up my children as Christians. Now look at me. Can you tell me why I m here like this? To her surprise, he answered, Yes, I can. Then tell me, she begged. He took her hand and said gently, Old age. I knew a Christian woman who also lived in a nursing home but accepted her old age. Although she experienced pain and weakness, she said, In this corner I work for the Lord - and the Lord works om me! Psalm 71 tells us that there is still work to be done for God, even when health and strength fail. I will hope continually (vs 14) . My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness (vs 15). O God, You have taught me from my youth; and to this day I declare Your wondrous works.. (vs 17). And when your work on earth is done - what then? You will guide me..and afterward receive me to glory (73: 24). Whatever your age, condition, or circumstances, if youre a Christian, the hope of heaven is yours! AS THE YEARS ADD UP, GODS FAITHFULNESS MULTIPLIES.....
