Age Is No Excuse

We carry around a load of excuses that we pull out when the occasion demands. For example, Jeremiah sought to avoid his calling by using age as an exemption.
Yet throughout the Bible there are numerous examples of God using peoiple despite their age. Joseph, Samuel and David were youngsters when they were called. Abraham and Noah received a call in their mature years.

The outward body doesn't matter to God; he looks for the willing heart. It doesn't matter how young or old you are.

What matters is the maturity of your heart. God has a way of using the most unlikely instruments to do his work. Even though we may feel ordinary, we never know when God may call us to do his work.
