Aging Well
We grow older daily, which positions us closer to our final day than ever before. Age well by presently preparing for your future state.

Listen
- Be as wise as you can by preparing for the future (11:1-2).
- Don’t procrastinate about what you need to do while waiting for ideal circumstances (11:3-6).
- Enjoy what you can while you can because our time is limited (11:7-8).
- Your choice of conduct will either bring joy or judgment (11:9-10).
- Prepare for eternity while you still have time (12:1-2).
- Our cognitive and motor skills will decline; we must prepare for that reality now (12:3-7).
- There is no escaping the truth that life is full of meaningless realities (12:8).
Consider
- Have you prepared yourself to be in decline?
- If your identity is wrapped up in what you can do, you will panic when you can’t accomplish it any longer.
- Have you prepared your estate to be a blessing?
Consider how your Kingdom stewardship could outlive you. - Have you prepared others to be without you?
- You will add stress on top of your loved ones’ grief if you fail to get your affairs in order.
- Have you prepared your soul to be with Jesus?
- If you haven’t received the gospel, you have rejected the only way to salvation.
