ENCOURAGING WORD:
Never Too Old
"So here I am today, eighty-five years old! I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I'm just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. Now give me this hill country that the LORD promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the LORD helping me, I will drive them out just as he said." - Caleb (Joshua 14:10-12 ).
We are never too old to serve the Lord. Caleb, forty-five years earlier, was one of the twelve spies Moses sent to spy out the Promised Land and one of the two who came back with a glowing report. At age eighty-five he still wants to serve the Lord.
Admittedly, folks lived much older back then but no matter how old we are (except for extenuating circumstances), we are never too old to serve the Lord—even if all we can do is pray.
When it comes to achieving anything worthwhile (especially serving God), it is availability—not age-ability—that counts.
Prayer: "Our Loving Father in Heaven,
I'm available, please make me usable and use me every day in some way to be a part of what you are doing in the world today. Give us the thirst to sever for your Kingdom. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, In Jesus Loving Name I Pray, Amen.
