There’s no ‘magical age’ at which excellence emerges, or quality suddenly appears. With God, you’re never too young, and never too old! Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted The Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he beganThe Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated the law of gravity.
But if you think ‘movers and shakers’ can only be found amongst the young, think again: Verdi was 80 when he produced Falstaff. Goethe was 80 when he completed Fauste. Tennyson was 80 when he wrote Crossing the Bar. Michelangelo was doing his best work at 87. And how about Noah? 500 when he preached his first sermon, and over 600 when he came out of the ark and helped start the world all over again.
Seize the day! Redeem the now moments of your life! The time or the age you’re waiting for may never arrive!
James writes, “A word for you who brashly announce, ‘Today – at the latest, tomorrow – we’re off to such and such a city for a year. We’re going to start a business andmake a lot of money.’ You don’t know the first thing about tomorrow. You’re nothing but a wisp of fog, catching a brief bit of sun before disappearing. Instead, make it a habit to say, ‘If the Master wills it and we’re still alive, we’ll do this or that.’” (James 4:13-15 TM). The moment, once past, will never return. So do it now!
