Believe it or not, there’s no such thing as “retirement” in God’s army. There’s no automatic retirement age. You don’t attain a certain age and then put in for retirement benefits with God. If He’s given you breath, He’s given you an assignment to share in His wonderful work. We never get to old to serve. Even if our physical stamina diminishes, His assignment for us doesn’t. God has given you this day. As you thank Him for the gift of these hours, ask Him how you can participate with Him in His Kingdom’s work. Take joy in the privilege to serve. It is most definitely a privilege and honor to serve in the places where God is working. I’m never too big nor too old to serve the One who gives me life, breath, and sustenance. Count it joy to serve. Don’t let anyone discount your contribution because you’re too old! Neither use your age as an excuse to sideline yourself or your contribution to the Kingdom. God wants to utilize you in His work today!
