God Uses All Ages

From Age to Age

Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh. Exodus 7:7

Dear God, please help me to follow You all the days of my life.

God uses people at all ages. Moses lived to be 120 years old (Deuteronomy 34:7). Both Joshua and Caleb were in their mid-eighties when they led their people to conquer the promised land (Joshua 14:7-12). The gospel historian Luke tells of Simeon, who tradition says was a prophet, and the prophetess Anna, who waited expectantly for the Messiah. They were privileged to see the baby Jesus when He was forty days old (Luke 2:22-38; see Leviticus 12:1-8). At the age of eighty-four, Anna was telling others about the Savior (vv. 37-38).
