Age Is Just Numbers
Gen 17:1-2
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”
Our God is a God of compassion, communion and covenant.
There are two groups of people often neglected and ignored by people, the children and the elderly. We don’t include or give heed to their inputs in discussions and decision making of important matters.
Today the elderly are either found in old age homes, or left alone to while away their old-age.
Many stories of elderly parents abandoned by their children in bus stops, railway stations and temples are heart wrenching and are regularly on the news.
In today’s world, if we had any 99 year old person in our homes, we may not be keen in making any plans for them or their future, BUT God was not done with Abraham yet. God was planning for this 99 year old man and his 90 year old wife.
No matter how old you are, your may be too young or too old or in between, God is interested in you, He has not given up His plans for you, He wants to communicate with you and fulfill His great plans in your life.
Your own might have given up on you, Your health might have become feeble and frail,You might have given up on that divine dream, BUT God has not given up on you, He will bring to completion the good thing that He has planned and begun in you. God loves you.
