      Notes

      Aging

      I’m getting old…older, and I don’t like it. Each year it feels like I’m accomplishing less. Any suggestions?

      First, read Joshua 14:6-14. Did you notice Caleb’s age? Did you notice the word wholehearted in relation to how he lived? Are you living wholeheartedly? This is the attitude God wants us to have about Him, about life, and about what we do—whether we’re twenty or ninety. Wholehearted means being devoted, determined, enthusiastic, free from reserve and hesitation.

      Here’s the thing: We’ll live differently, but we won’t live less. Let’s not overlook what we can do. Let’s not fail to ask God to direct and guide our future. And there will be one!

      I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).

      There are minuses that arrive as we age, yet certainly there are pluses as well:

      You don’t get old from living a particular number of years; you get old because you have deserted your ideals. Years wrinkle your skin; renouncing your ideals wrinkles your soul. Worry, doubt, fear and despair are the enemies which slowly bring us down to the ground and turn us to dust before we die.¹

      We can approach growing older in several ways. One is grasping the past and holding on—refusing to relinquish being the main influence in family and social arenas, clinging to a job, denying limitations, or constantly informing others about accomplishments.

      Another response is withdrawing into apathy and indifference. Usually the frozenness moves into regret, depression, and even bitterness.

      A third approach (the healthiest one) is choosing life whatever that entails. This is being present—being active—in life. Ambition is still there, but now it’s been redirected into new channels. There is discovery of new purposes and setting of new goals. There is meaning based on the furthering of God’s kingdom.

      Make the decision to live fully now even as you anticipate spending joyous eternity with Jesus Christ.

      Anger

      I need help with anger. How do I keep it in check?

      Some people believe Christians should never get angry. But that’s unrealistic and not something God expects from us. Anger isn’t sinful; it’s how we handle it that makes the difference.

      Anger must be controlled so it doesn’t become heated or unrestrained. Righteous anger motivates us to positive, unselfish action. Hatred, malice, and resentment aren’t part of healthy anger. They contribute to strokes, heart attacks, high blood pressure, hypertension, colitis, and ulcers.

      Scripture offers plenty of healthy guidelines for anger, including these verses from the book of Proverbs:

      • An angry person stirs up conflict, and a hot-tempered person commits many sins (29:22).

      • Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person, do not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn their ways… (22:24-25).

      In The Man in the Mirror, Patrick Morley describes a scenario familiar to many men:

      Anger resides behind the closed doors of most of our homes. Personally, I have never lost my temper at the office. I would never want my colleagues to think I couldn’t control myself. But rarely a week goes by in which the sparks of family life don’t provide good tinder for a roaring fire of anger…

      Angry words are like irretrievable arrows released from an archer’s bow. Once released, traveling through the air toward their target, they cannot be withdrawn, their damage cannot be undone. Like the arrows of the archer, our angry words pierce like
