On the clock...retirement is not recognized

Just ran across this verse this morning in Quiet time.

Joshua 13:1 When Joshua was an old man, the Lord said to him, “You are growing old, and much land remains to be conquered.

For the folks who want to throw out they're too old...sorry, God doesn't recognize that.  If you're breathing, you've got a role to play.  The Lord said "you are growing old, you've got a lot left to do" and laid out the list for Joshua...not the retirement plan.  And if you think, God was saying "you are growing old, so one day you can't", thinking of his one day Earthly retirement, nope.  That's not true...the Scriptures say Joshua was ALREADY an "old man"...God seemed to be saying, "you've got this to do, before you die"...as long as you are here, God has a plan.  Retirement is just a man thing.  For God, there's only one place to retire to...that's Heaven, the rest of the time, you may change roles, you may do something different, but you are on the clock, man.  Act like it.

BTW...if you aren't reading the Word, you're missing something that God had for you that you needed today. 

Please continue to pray for Bay West Church, as we continue to try to be a church in west palm bay that honors Christ with all we do.  We meet Sundays at 10am ...
