A guy my age

Well, I have reached the age that, when I have my annual check ups, my doctor always says something like, You are in perfect health, " or, "You are in great shape," and it would be perfectly fine if it ended there. However, there seems to always be the disclaimer, "...for a guy your age." Again, I don't really know what that means.

I mean, am I in good shape, or am I not? Am I in perfect health, or am I not? What does the disclaimer, "for a guy your age" really mean? When I shared this with a friend of mine, he laughed and said, "It means you could die any second." Then, I thought, "He is right. But, isn't that true for any of us?"

Today's word is Psalm 62:1, NIV, which reads, "Truly my soul finds rest in GOD; my salvation comes from Him."

It is true that we don't know when our time on this earth may come to a very abrupt end. As a child of GOD, though, we really have no need to be concerned with any of that. We can rest safely, surely, confidently that to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD.

It is a good feeling knowing that when this life is over, hopefully, many years down the road, that my eternity is with JESUS, in Heaven, for eternity. We can find rest in that. We can find peace in that. We can find assurance in that. We can feel great and confident about that, especially a guy my age.

Be Blessed,
