When You Feel Too Old to Be Used by God

Feeling sidelined because of your age, declining health, or retirement? In this episode, discover why you’re never too old to be used by God, and how your later years can actually be your most fruitful.Have you ever started to feel like your best days of being useful to God are quietly slipping behind you?Our culture sends a loud message that value is tied to youth, speed, and earning power. When you retire from your career, experience declining health, or watch a younger generation take the reins, it is so easy to feel sidelined and forgotten. You begin to absorb the lie that your time for productivity is over, leaving you wondering if you still have anything meaningful to contribute.In this episode, we look at the inspiring story of Jim Annis, an 80-year-old man who refuses to spend his retirement in a recliner. Instead, he spends his days covered in sawdust, building hundreds of handmade wooden toys to donate to the Salvation Army every Christmas. Through his beautiful example and the powerful promise of Psalm 92:14, you'll see how God views aging completely differently than the world does. Moses, Caleb, and Anna prove that God doesn’t issue expiration dates on His callings. Your assignment may change, but your purpose remains.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:Why retiring from your career doesn't mean you are retiring from your callingHow Psalm 92:14 promises that you can remain "vital and green," producing fruit even in old ageThe unique and desperately needed gifts that only older believers can bring to the ChurchYou are never too old to be used by God. Instead of disqualifying you, age positions you to offer wisdom forged through decades of walking faithfully with Him.Share This Episode:https://www.dailydevotionsforbusylives.com/188Need Prayer?
