Honorees: The Seasoned Saints of Mount Hope Baptist Church Sis. Esther Harris Bro. Lewis Moore Sis. Leola Bates Special Presentation "Wisdom belongs to the aged, and understanding to the old," says Job 12:12, reminding us of the value of speaking with older adults. 1 Kings 12: ... What Scripture Says About... · The Lord Loves You · Older Adults Are Wise At those moments, Isaiah 46:4 offers words of comfort: “Even to your old age and gray hairs, I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you, and I will rescue you.” It's a promise of unending support, made specifically to older adults. What are God's promises for seniors? Yes, aging is inevitable. But God has promised to be with us and carry us from birth, “even to your old age,” He says, “I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry and will deliver you” (Is 46:3-4).
