80 years old…

 80 years old…

Moses led the Israelites at 80…

Daniel is in the lions den at 80…

Anna at the temple at 84…

I Thought of these three, devoted followers of God in their own right, in the paths that God had for them…

A leader of a nation…a Jew in a foreign land who was counted trustworthy to foreign kings….a widow who “ and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.”

Luke.2.37,Luke.2.38

I have friends and relatives who are 80…what a delight each one of them are…

 Moses said …”The years of our life are seventy,or even by reason of strength eighty;yet their span is but toil and trouble;they are soon gone, and we fly away.”

Ps.90.10

My husband used to say,,there is no retirement in the Bible…we serve the Lord as long as we can…

Erma Bomveck ..”when I stand before God at the end f my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say “ I used everything You gave me”…

Whether we lead a nation, face a den of lions or worship in the temple or whatever God has in store for us….find us faithful…

Thank YOU…

 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help. 

My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.” 

So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

Dan.6.10,Dan.6.11,Dan.6.22,Dan.6.28

Find us Faithful…
