Magnified

Someone gifted me a mirror that magnifies the face by 10 or 20 times! Fearful! Where did that face come from? How did all those wrinkles get in there? If I tie my hair in a bow will it take up some of the slack? (Hint-don’t bother. It doesn’t work!)

I could blame things like this.

1. Lack of sleep

2. Pollution

3. Stress

4. Bad food choices

5. Lack of exercise

6. Smoking

7. Sun exposure

8. Or just face the truth. I am getting older.

Will we invest in expensive creams and powders or just change our lifestyle? It’s possible (except for number 8. It is just a given!) We cause many of our life’s ailments. Do we care enough about the results to make the changes required?

God gives out wisdom free and is plainspoken in knowledge and understanding. He’s a rich mine of common sense for those who live well, a personal bodyguard to the candid and sincere. (Proverbs 2:6-7)
