1 | Senility 'n th'Word of God: A Meditation | Is 26:3 | Lionstrong | 104688 | ||
Senility and the Word of God: A Meditation Is 26:3 "The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You. I have a sneaking suspicion, a theory even, that some people become senile (loose their memory) in old age because they haven't remembered the Lord in their earlier years. Why should the Lord keep someone's mind if he hasn't bothered to keep the Lord on it? It is the one keeps his mind steadfast on the Lord whose mind the Lord will keep in peace. There are many passages on remembering the Lord and the things of the Lord, but I suppose the two most important are the fourth commandment and communion: Ex 20:8 "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 1 Cor 11:25 In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." |

Greeting Lionstrong! This is an interesting concept however,there are many believers who faithfully loved and served the Lord and today are suffering with various forms of senility or dementia.(Perhaps I'm wrong to link the two) So I'm struggling a bit with this hypothesis, but it is definitely worth considering. One can lose their memory and still be "kept in peace." What does this phrase really mean? Do we try to put our spin on what this peace is or should we think more "out of the box" on this matter. One's mind, the ability to process information, is "at peace" because of THE Peace we have IN CHRIST. So, no matter what happens, we can rest in that assurance. Any comments here? Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, "I have no delight in them" Ecc 12:1 I suspect that those who have done so will indeed recall the memory of the Lord when they remember little else, but remembering the Lord daily does not appear to be an insurance policy against senility or dementia. Just some thoughts to follow up on your post. Blessings, mommapbs |

Thanks for your observations, Momma, Yes, I agree that believers suffer from various diseases through no fault of their own. Two things are happening: 1) We all (Christians and non-Christians) experience some degree of misery from the fall of Adam, and with few exceptions we all have or will experience death till Christ comes. 2) But some will experience temporal chastening (believers) or punishment (unbelievers) in this life as a result of our own sins. |
