THE CONFIDENT WOMAN DEVOTIONAL: IT’S NOT ABOUT AGE

Timothy, Paul’s “spiritual” son in the ministry, was very young, and
he was fearful and worried about what people thought of his youth. Paul told
him to let no man despise his youth. It really does not matter how old or young
a person is. If God calls someone to do something, and they have the confidence
to go forward, nothing can stop them.

How you respond to your age and, for that matter, how others respond is really
up to you. We all age in years, but we don’t have to get an “I’m too
old” mindset. Moses was 80 years old when he left Egypt
to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land. Confident people don’t think about
how old they are; they think about what they can accomplish with the time they
have left. Remember, confident people are positive and look at what they have,
not what they have lost.

Even if you are reading this devotion and let’s say you are 65 years old and
feel you have wasted most of your life doing nothing – you can still start
today and do something amazing and great with your life.

Pray: Lord, You used people of all ages throughout the Bible, and You can use
me. Today is a new day, and I am excited about what You have for me to
accomplish. Amen.
