Paul said it this way, “Outwardly this house that I live in may be perishing, but inwardly I’m being renewed day by day.” He was saying, “Things may be aging on the outside, but inwardly I’m refreshed, I’m renewed.” That’s talking about your thoughts. Your attitude. If you go around thinking old thoughts, “My knees are so stiff. I think my hearing’s going. I can’t concentrate anymore. At my age, it’s to be expected.” The problem with that mindset is that you’re letting yourself get old. Your attitude determines your age more than your birthday. I’ve seen eighty-year-old people with a twenty-year-old attitude. They’re fun, positive, sharp, a joy to be around. I’ve seen thirty-year-old people with an eighty-year-old attitude. We’re all going to age. You can’t stop the clock from ticking. But you don’t have to get old. It’s in our mind. I love the phrase I heard, “Don’t let the old man in.” That old man, that old woman is going to come knocking at your door. “You’re tired. You can’t do what you used to. Look at those wrinkles. Nobody needs you anymore.” Some people answer that door, “Come on in and get a cup of coffee. Tell me some more.” No, keep that door closed. Tell the old man, “No thanks.” Tell the old woman, “You’re not welcome here.” You stay young by being renewed in the spirit of your mind.
