"For through me (wisdom) your days will be many, and years will be added to your life." (Proverb 09:11)
I was browsing in a bookstore the other day and noticed a great number of books purporting to tell how to live longer. One of them even had the audacity to be titled "Eternal Life", and this book wasn't a spiritual book, it was about physical conditioning. Most such books talk about diet and exercise, and may have some short term benefits, but true help is found in the biblical promises of a long life. For example, if you honor your mother and father you are promised that it will "go well with you and you will enjoy a long life on earth" (Ephesians 6:3). Here in proverbs walking in wisdom will make "your days many, and years will be added to your life". I remember seeing a television special about four people in Atlanta, Georgia who were all over 100 years old. The common ingredient in their lives was their Christian faith. It makes sense, doesn't it? A godly life keeps you away from much life shortening trouble. Live long and prosper--God's way!
