Is it too late for me to do something big for God? My brother-in-the faith, Jeb, always brings out the point of Abraham and Sarah, the lessons learned and the inevitable success from the spoken words of our Lord. I would like for us to think about this also in the concept of all our lives being lived in an eternal timeline. Spiritually speaking, when we are born-again into the Kingdom of God, we have within us a non-aging life. It is at once transformed into an eternal existence, never deteriorating, reflecting the same image of Jesus as an offspring of the Creator, Christ being the first-born. This being the case, we are immediately transformed into living by eternity's calendar, a day as a thousand years. We must develop an understanding of who we are in Christ Jesus and that can only be understood through a meditation of reading and studying the Holy Scriptures. These enlighten us into a transformation of thought that reflects Christ in us, our actions and speech are changed to give only Him glory, not seeking our own. We want change to be reflected instantly or in an accelerated amount of time only because we still think as a man thinks, we measure by a temporal measure, God measures by an eternal one. If a day is as a thousand years, Abraham was what, 2 hours and 40 minutes old when Issac was born? A little help from a physics major would help here. In any way, not very old at all. We must stop judging the working of God in a person's life based upon our timeline, only God's timeline counts. It is never too late to do something for God.
"Annanias! Go to Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus, named Saul...". There is no limit to what the Lord may use us for, no constraints on the timeliness of His call, ask Zechariah, he had a son named John.
