?And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and
begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with
God after he begat Methuselah three
hundred years, and begat sons and
daughters. And all the days of Enoch were
three hundred and sixty and five years.?
Genesis 5:21-24
?Now also when I am old and gray-headed,
O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed
thy strength unto this generation and thy
power to every one that is to come? Psalms
71:18
One day I was pondering how old I was, 46
years at the time, and thought to myself
how I wished I had learned all that God was
teaching me now when I was younger. I
thought I could have given so much more of
my life to God if only I had started younger.
God immediately told me that age does not
matter. He will use whoever will let him.
That morning I read in Genesis about
Enoch. It said that Enoch lived 365 years,
but he did not start walking with God until
he was 65 years old
It does not matter how old you are. God
has a plan for your life and if you earnestly
seek Him, He will reveal it to you. If you
will let Him, God will use your life to
change the world
It was about a year ago, in the month of
May, I was almost through with my first
class at Faith Bible Institute and decided to
write my Pastor an email thanking him for
bringing Faith Bible Institute to our church.
I also shared with Him how much I was
learning and what God was doing in my life
I remember it was a Friday evening. The
next morning I checked my email and saw
that my Pastor emailed me back. He was
encouraged to hear what God was doing in
my life and said he would really like it if I could
share this during testimony time one Sunday
evening.
While I was getting ready that morning to go run
my errands, I was talking to God about how I
should respond to my Pastor. I wasn’t able to
come to the Sunday night service and did not
foresee this happening for some time.
While I was talking to God about this, I clearly
heard God say to me, ?You are not going to just
tell the Sunday night service, you are going to
tell the world. You are going to write a book.? I
could not believe what I just heard, but I was
excited because I have always told God I wanted
to shout from the rooftops what he was doing in
my life. Right after God told me this, thoughts
started flooding my mind. I sat down with a pen
and paper and could not write fast enough of
what God was bringing to my mind.
God gave me the title of the book, My Journey
With God, all the chapter titles and much of the
content. After the weekend was over, I had typed
out twenty pages of my first book. As I reflect on
this a year later, I believe God gave me this
message in exactly this way, because every time
I would doubt that God told me this, I would
remember that Saturday morning and think to
myself there is no way that I made this up. I am
not a writer and have never wanted to write a
book. I believe it was my ?burning bush,? so to
speak. No one could tell me that this was not
from God. My Pastor often says, ?Don’t doubt in
darkness what God made clear to you in the
light?
You are never too young or too old to serve God.
Earnestly seek God every day with all your heart
and he will reveal to you his plan for your life.
