Discernment gets better with age. It requires the ability to be honest with yourself, reflect and evaluate. You need a good spiritual foundation which means studying the Bible, being obedient and having a prayer life. Without growth and discernment people practice the same mistakes and get meaner, dumber, lazier and become bitter. That coincides with the challenges that come along with aging. What is left is often unpleasant and unfortunate.
“Wisdom belongs to the aged, and understanding to the old” (Job 12:12 NLT)
“He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age” (Ruth 4:15 NIV)
“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” (Isaiah 46:4 NIV)
