Things hurt today. Neck, back, etc. It is probable that I am paying for things, like rugby, that I did when I was younger. As we mature, things change, work differently or not at all…
However, there is another perspective.
Consider 2 Corinthians 4:16 – 18 (here @ Bible Gateway). The great news there is, though our bodies may deteriorate, the outer man, we still have growth to pursue in the inner man. There is no end to what we can learn, what we can experience of our Lord, what we can share with others, what we can observe and apply in the Word of God.
There are no sidelines in the Christian experience. There is no retirement. There is no finish line other than being in the presence of the one that enables us to run this race.
That is a journey, an adventure, to which it is worth our complete commitment.
