Never Too Old

Abram was 75 when God told him to leave his country, his people, and his father's household and to go to the land that God would show him.

Moses was 80 when God told him to stop tending sheep for his father-in-law and to go to Pharaoh and to bring the Israelites out of Egypt and toward the promised land.

Sarah was 90 when she gave birth to a baby boy. Sarah thought that the idea of a 90-year-old woman giving birth was so hilarious that she named the baby boy "Isaac", which means "he laughs." The boy's father, the aforementioned Abram, was 100.

Noah was 500 when God told him to build an ark. Then he had to wait 100 years before the rain started to fall.

Never use age as an excuse to not serve God.

And I know what you're thinking: well, all of these examples are Bible heroes, from back in the day when it seemed like everybody lived to be 969 like Methuselah.

OK, then here's a few modern day (and some albeit secular) examples of people who didn't let age stop them from accomplishing great things:

Pastor George Foreman was 45 when he regained the heavyweight championship of the world in 1994.

Ronald Reagan was 56 when he first held political office as the Governor of California in 1967.

Ray Kroc was 59 when he purchased McDonald's from the McDonald brothers in 1961 and began to franchise the fast-food hamburger restaurant all around the world.

Harlan Sanders was 65 when he first began to franchise Kentucky Fried Chicken in 1955.

So what's your excuse?

It had better not be your age.
