经文 · 和合本 1919 / KJV（公版） · Scripture · CUV 1919 / KJV (public domain)
雅各家、以色列家一切余剩的、要听我言、你们自从生下、就蒙我保抱、自从出胎、便蒙我怀搋。 直到你们年老、我仍这样、直到你们发白、我仍怀搋。我已造作、也必保抱、我必怀抱、也必拯救。
English
Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
在生活中默想 · 灵修解释 · Reflecting in daily life · Devotional interpretation
以赛亚书 46 在对比偶像与神的语境中，强调神对其百姓长久的看顾。默想年长与照护时，应记住这里谈的是神持续的信实。 年纪渐长带来新的限制，我也看见生命不同阶段的礼物。年长带来限制，也留下独特的经验；价值不取决于每天能完成多少事。今天可以从一个小而具体的回应开始：选择一件适合体力的活动，分享一段经验。
English

Growing older brings new limits, and I also see gifts in this season. Age brings limits and distinctive experience. Worth is not measured by daily productivity. Begin with a small concrete response today: Choose an activity suited to your strength and share one experience.

天父，年纪渐长带来新的限制，我也看见生命不同阶段的礼物。求你在这个处境中陪伴我，使我不必隐藏真实的感受。年长带来限制，也留下独特的经验；价值不取决于每天能完成多少事。请赐我分辨与勇气，让我今天愿意这样回应：选择一件适合体力的活动，分享一段经验。当结果还未明朗时，帮助我耐心尽自己的责任，也接受可信之人的支持。愿我的言语与行动显出爱，把无法掌握的部分交托给你。奉耶稣的名，阿们。
