4:19-21 Aging Age brings many beautiful things: wisdom, perspective, friends, and a host of memories. Age can also bring disability to the body, the mind, or both. Yet our faith can remain strong even as our bodies weaken, as Abraham exemplified. In our weakened state, we learn to stop relying on our own strength of mind or body and increasingly shift our reliance to the Creator. God’s strength becomes more evident in our weakness.
