Did you know that the force of
faith has the power to rejuvenate your physical body? It's true. You can
see that in the life of Sarah. Most people don't understand the full
extent of what God did in her life. All they know is that He enabled her
to have a child in her old age.
But if you'll look closer, you'll
see that there was more to it than that. When Sarah laid hold of the
promise of God by faith, it began to restore her physically to such an
extent that when King Abimelech saw her, he wanted her for his wife.
Think
about that! At 90 years old, she was so beautiful that a king wanted
her in his harem. What's more, after she gave birth to Isaac, the Bible
says she nursed him till he was weaned. Then she kept right on living
until that boy was raised!
Now, I'm not telling you you can have a
baby at 90 like Sarah did. She had a specific promise from God about
that. But I am telling you that if you'll believe God for renewed
strength and health in your old age, He'll provide it for you. In fact,
Psalm 103 says that's one of His benefits. It says God will fill your
mouth with good things so your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
That
is God's desire for you in your old age. A powerful, experienced
champion of the Word with your strength renewed by faith. Start
confessing that today. Fill your mouth with the promises of God. Say,
"Praise God, my youth is renewed like the eagle's." You'll still go to
heaven when your work on earth is through—but you won't just fade away.
You'll fly out of here in a blaze of glory like the conqueror God
created you to be.
