Age



George Foreman was 45 when he won the world heavyweight championship.


Ray Kroc was 59 when he purchased McDonald's from two brothers and began to franchise the restaurant worldwide.


Paul Newman was 62 when he won his first Oscar.


Colonel Harlan Sanders was 65 when he began to franchise Kentucky Fried Chicken.


Ronald Reagan was two weeks shy of 70 when he was inaugurated as President of the United States.


Abraham was 75 when God told him to leave his country and go to a land that God would show him.


Moses was 80 when God called him to go to Egypt and lead the Israelites out of servitude and toward the Promised Land.


Noah was 500 when God told him to build an ark.


How old are you?


Do you think you are too old for God's service?


In a culture that worships youth, it is easy for many people to believe that, after a certain age, one no longer is eligible to serve God, serve others, and make an impact in this world.


It's a lie.


No matter your age, God has a plan for you.


No matter your age, God wants to use you for His glory.


Stop focusing on how old you are.


Start focusing on how much more God can have you do.


You are never too old for God's service.
