even in your old age, God will carry you. (Isaiah 46:4)

even in your old age, God will carry you. (Isaiah 46:4)

Isaiah 46:3–4 (NIV)

“Listen to me, you descendants of Jacob,
all the remnant of the people of Israel,
you whom I have upheld since your birth,
and have carried since you were born.
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.”

God’s Lifelong Commitment to His People

This passage from the book of Isaiah highlights God’s unchanging nature and His unwavering commitment to His people. He reminds Israel that He has been their caretaker from the very beginning—from the womb—and will remain so even into their old age. 

In a world where human relationships often change and support systems can fail, God assures His people that His faithfulness does not waver. He is not only the Creator but also the Sustainer and Deliverer (Colossians 1:16–17).

A Testimony from David

King David echoes this truth in

 Psalm 37:25 (NIV):

“I was young and now I am old,
yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.”

This verse reflects a lifetime of experience, revealing the faithfulness of God to the righteous. David witnessed God’s provision firsthand and affirms that those who walk with God are never abandoned.

Trust God with Your Future

Many people today worry about the future—whether about retirement, health, or aging without support. But God promises to carry His people through every season of life. If you’ve trusted Him from your youth, He won’t forsake you in your old age (Deuteronomy 31:8).

Even if you lack financial security or your physical strength is failing, take heart: God Himself will be near. Material wealth alone cannot provide lasting peace—only a life rooted in Christ brings eternal comfort (Philippians 4:7).

A Call to the Young

The Bible urges the youth to seek God early in life. as it say in 

Ecclesiastes 12:1 (NIV) 

“Remember your Creator in the days of your youth,
before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say,
‘I find no pleasure in them.’”

This is a call to spiritual urgency. Investing in a relationship with God now ensures that you will not face the future alone. Salvation through Jesus Christ offers not just eternal life, but also a deep and lasting hope in every stage of life (John 10:10, Romans 5:1–2).

Are You Ready?

If you haven’t yet committed your life to Jesus Christ, now is the time. He died for your sins, rose again, and offers you forgiveness and new life (Romans 5:8, John 3:16). You can receive Him today through repentance and faith.

Final Encouragement

The God who made you will sustain you. The God who called you will carry you.
He is faithful, from the beginning to the very end.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.
