Thought of the day.

It’s never too late for us to follow God’s calling on our life.After Joshua sent 12 spies into the Promised Land, they returned and reported that the land was too hard a place for God’s people to settle. And as a result of their unbelief, the Israelites wandered around in the desert for another 40 years. An entire generation died because they did not believe in God’s promises. However Caleb and Joshua believed, so they got to live.
When the Israelites returned to the Promised Land 40 years later, Caleb said, “Now here I am, eighty-five years old. I am still as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me out, and I am just as ready to fight now as I was then. So give me the mountain country the LORD promised me that day long ago” (Joshua 14:10-12 NCV).
The land Caleb wanted was full of giants and cities fortified with great walls. He was saying to God, “Give me the biggest assignment, hardest city, the place with the biggest giants. Give me the mountain regions. I don’t want some easy place. I know I’m 85 years old, but I’ve still got it in me to do great things for you.”
So even if we’re an older adult and thinking it’s time to hang it up. This is not the time to want to step back and quit. God is not going to let us live 30 more years just to play golf.
Retirement is a word that’s not in the Bible. We may stop working, but we keep serving the Lord. We have more wisdom and experience now than when we were younger, and God is not going to waste that.
Today please believe that it’s never too late to start on your life calling. The best is yet to come.
