Disciplined by Design: A Devotional on Staying the Course (2 of 4)
Focus Scripture
“Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.”
– Psalm 92:13–15 (NKJV)
Reflection
Getting older doesn’t mean growing weaker. Not in God’s kingdom.
Psalm 92 reminds us that when we are planted in the Lord’s presence, anchored in His truth and nurtured by His Spirit, we are meant to flourish, not fade.
The world may expect decline with age, but God promises fruitfulness. Even in our later years, we can be strong, flexible, and full of purpose.
Resilience comes not just from exercise or nutrition, but from being rooted.
- Rooted in faith.
- Rooted in community.
- Rooted in hope.
The 80-year-old woman who strength-trains is not just lifting weights. She is lifting a declaration:
“My body is still God’s temple. My life still has purpose. I will still bear fruit.”
You can declare that too.
With God’s help, you are building a body that serves you, not limits you. You are investing in strength now, so you can serve Him faithfully later.
God’s people don’t retire from purpose. We re-fire with praise.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for the promise that I can flourish at every age. Help me stay rooted in You, drawing strength from Your Spirit and truth.
Let my body reflect resilience, not weariness.
Let my words speak life, not limitation.
And let my life declare Your faithfulness all my days.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Action Step
Ask yourself:
What is one small act today that will strengthen my roots and build my resilience?
Write it down. Then walk it out in faith.
