"UNDERNEATH ARE THE EVERLASTING ARMS." What comfort to know that the arms which bear us up are the everlasting arms of God Himself. What blessed assurance is this for the aged disciples of the Lord Jesus: heart and flesh may fail them, but God will not. Having begun a good work in them, He will finally perfect it for them. His gifts and callings are without repentance. He will be as kind, as tender, and as gracious at last as at first. "The eternal God is our refuge, underneath are the everlasting arms." He will carry us safely through every danger and difficulty into His presence and glory. Aged pilgrim, lean upon your God; look to Him and as the nurse carries the sucking child, so will your God carry you. He will prove Himself faithful to His word and ultimately call you forth as a witness to the same. Fear not then at the approach of the evening of life: your God will supply you, support you, and at last land you safe where storms never blow, where weakness and ageing fears are never felt. "Take no anxious thought for the morrow; let the morrow take thought for the things of itself; sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." The promises of your God cannot fail you; He will safely guide you and carry you to His kingdom and glory. He says -

For Meditation:
E'en down to old age, all my people shall prove
My sov'reign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne.
