Wasting Away
While at the store today I peered down at rows of skin creams promising to tighten, lighten and otherwise brighten old and wrinkled skin. I turned 50 this year and all seems to be downhill from here as far as outward appearances. It's interesting that the Bible even speaks of this dilemma in 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, but these scriptures carry more hope than any number of expensive skin care products:
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

The blessings of youth, no worries about tummy fat or wrinkles.
Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
