You may be thinking today that you are “over the hill” or that your best days are behind you. However, God still has a tremendous plan for your life and you’re never too old to be used by Him.
We see in the Scriptures that Moses was 80 years old when he began to step into God’s plan for His life. The final 1/3rd of his life was by far the best and most productive phase of his life. He was used by God to deliver the Israelites from Egyptian bondage and he saw miracle after miracle, including God’s supernatural sustenance and provision for himself and all the Israelites for 40 years. In fact, when he was 120 years old, the Bible says that “His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished.” (Deuteronomy 34:7) He even climbed a mountain at 120 years of age before he died! That is divine health and strength!
Also, we see where Caleb was as strong at the age of 85 as he was when he was 40 years old. He said in Joshua 14:11, “As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in.” In Joshua 14:12 Caleb stated, “Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day…”
He not only took the mountain, but was able to drive out the Anakim (giants) in it at 85, because he wholly followed the Lord His God. (Joshua 14:14)
Perhaps you have giants in your life today and feel like you are too old to possess your promised land and be used by God. Just remember this, no matter where you’re at in life today nor what your age is, God wants to still use you in a mighty way, for you’re never too old to be used by God!
