Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. II Corinthians 4:16 Cardiologists in London have ascertained that the human body begins its deterioration process at roughly age 20. The 100 billion nerve cells begin to die off, and by age 40 you could be losing up to 10,000 per day. Everything is impacted – memory, coordination, and the many functions controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The Apostle Paul was right: the outer nature is wasting away. Diet and exercise fight decay’s ravages. Lifelong-learning centers strive to decelerate cognitive impairment with all manner of academic and experiential opportunities. But the nourishment of body and mind is ultimately a losing battle. Decay of your inner nature, though, does not need to be automatic with the passage of time. It’s necessary to jettison anger, worry and pride, filling those newly-emptied spaces with the joy of the Lord, allowing Him to heal your hurts. Be renewed in your spirit with humble service in His name, and by passing on the love He has so freely bestowed on you. Dive deeply into the Scriptures and pray with gratitude. Let your intercessions include President Obama, members of Congress, the nation’s judiciary, and the men and women of the military.
