Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. Sitting alone in His Presence this morning was like a Prescription from Heaven for everything that was ailing me. The “bad news” is that I sometimes don’t respect my own limitations, and sometimes I Give until there’s nothing left of me to give. The Good News is that I know where to go for Rest and Revival and I know HOW to get my Soul Refreshed for the next round of Service. The solution isn’t for me to do LESS for the Living God – the solution is for me to be sure that I’m Empowered to do ALL that I can do to Serve while there’s still breath in my body because I know that there’s still breath within me for a Purpose much bigger than myself. Isn’t that the way you deal with “limitations” too?

It can be so easy to make excuses for why we don’t do this or we can’t do that, and the older I get the more I hear those excuses from my peers. Plenty of physical limitations come with age, that’s for sure, but lots of people throw in the towel WAY before they are no longer able as if their age defines their ability. Oh, there are plenty of things I’m unable to do that I could easily accomplish in my youth but I didn’t give them up easily. I’m not in “denial” I’m in Kingdom Service! The bottom line is that it doesn’t take youth to be able to Serve other people, it just takes a willing Heart, and when the Heart is willing to do the work of the Living God, He’ll provide the Resources and the Energy that will flow supernaturally until the Job is Complete. That’s how you KNOW when it’s God Working! When we’re in Service Mode for the Work of the Living God, it’s not US doing the Heavy Lifting on our own. In fact, we’ll never be left alone to do a Jesus Job! When we’re willing to do what He Calls us to do He’ll bring the Resources out of the Spiritual Woodwork, and He’ll surround us with a few other Willing Hearts to help us complete His Work.

I surrendered my Life to Jesus Christ a long time ago and I’ll gladly be Serving Him all the days of my Life. He called Moses at the ripe old age of 80 so I am confident that He doesn’t discriminate over age when it comes to Willing Vessels. I wonder what HE thinks about all those people who quit on this side of the grave as if they get time off for (or from) good service? As for me, it will be my Honor to give Him everything I’ve got all the days of my Life and I won’t be making excuses. I Know better than to tell God what I can and cannot do because I already Know that when He comes Calling, He’ll give me everything I need to complete the Task. I’ll make the excuse-makers look bad here and there BUT there might be a few that I’ll inspire instead.

How about you?
