“As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.
Now therefore give me this mountain…” – Joshua 14:11-12
I love the story of Caleb in the Old Testament who at 85 felt as capable as ever to go out and use his strength to serve the Lord. I am also inspired by Ginny Maccoll, who was watching her daughter compete on American Ninja Warrior, and decided that she herself wanted to get stronger. She got a pull up bar for her closet and started working, it took almost a year, but at 65 she finally got her chin over the bar. At 73 she is now in the Guiness Book of World Records as the oldest competitive female ninja. Yes, at the age when most people succumb to a rocking chair, Ginny is taking on ninja courses. Her motto, “Strength is Ageless,” is inspiring millions of people as Ginny is redefining what aging looks like.
I believe this is just another example of the divine nature that is in us as children of God. Our Father is limitless, so why do we, as His children, put so many limits on ourselves? More is possible and strength is ageless.
