Never Too Old

O.T. #146  "Never Too Old"
Oct. 14, 2013
Exodus 6-Part 3-7:5
Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD commanded them.  Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.   Exodus 7:6-7


LET IT GLOW

In my mother's family, her dad lived to be over 90 years of age and her sister lived to be over 100 years of age. They endured so much hardship during their lifetimes-the depression, 2 world wars, Korea and Viet Nam wars. Yet they raise their families through them. However, I don't recall them sharing things that the Lord Jesus did for them. Oh, I know they were believers, reading the Word and attending church. I don't want it said of me the same thing. I want my grandchildren to hear of the many ways God has worked in my life and my husband's life. How about you? We are never too old to share Jesus.

Moses spoke to God about their circumstances. He felt like a failure since Pharaoh refused to free the Hebrews the first time Moses and Aaron confronted him. So Moses went to the Lord in prayer.
What was the Lord's answer?

• I am the LORD.
• Speak to Pharaoh all that I say.
• I have made you (Moses) a god to Pharaoh and Aaron thy prophet. Moses stood before Pharaoh with divine authority, as a god in Pharaoh's eyes when Jehovah did all those miraculous signs.
• I command you and you tell Aaron what to speak to Pharaoh.
• The message is for Pharaoh to send the children of Israel out of his land.
• I will harden Pharaoh's heart and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.
• Pharaoh will not hearken unto you.
• I will stretch forth My hand upon Egypt and their people will know I am the LORD.

Does the Lord ever tell us to speak to someone about all the wonderful things He has done for us?
Do we pray for our family, neighbors, state, nation, and church? Are we watching for signs of God working around us?

LET IT GROW

We are never too old to work for Jesus, nor to tell of all the great things He has done in our life.  Moses was 80 years old at this time and Aaron was 83 year old. Moses lived to be 120, so his life was only 2/3 over. Man's normal life span was 70-80 back then.
The Egyptian records show that service beyond 100 was not uncommon. (Falwell/Connell)

Look at all that these two men accomplished during the later part of their lives. What is our excuse?
If I only have 10-20 more years to live, I want to do my best in serving God and share what a wonderful, faithful, merciful God He has been to me.
We are never too old to share Jesus. Let's not waste another day, hour, or minute, dear friend.

By faith Moses and Aaron did what God commanded them. They went back to Pharaoh a second time. We will see what happened not posting.


LET IT GO

No more excuses, share my experiences with Jesus.

Tell how He has worked so wonderfully in my life.

Do what God commands me and leave the results to Him.

Love people to Jesus today.
