“Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three when they made their demands to Pharaoh” (Exodus 7:7 NLT).

THE MOSES’ RETIREMENT PLAN

The life of Moses can be divided into three 40-year phases. The first 40 years of his life, he lived as a prince of Egypt, the second, as a shepherd in Midian, and the third, as the deliverer of Israel. It took 80 years for God to get Moses prepared to deliver His people. That’s a long education. Yet finally, he was both humble and obedient enough for God to use. The last 40 years of his life were devoted to being God’s man, leading Israel out of Egypt and into the land of Canaan. The most powerful and productive years of Moses’ life were the years after 80. For he gave his life completely over to God.
 
What’s your plan for life after 80? You’re never too old or too young for a God-sized calling to capture your life!
 
PRAYER: Lord, we want to continually say ‘yes’ to the calling you have on our life. We don’t want to waste one minute of the life You have given us. We turn every area of our lives over to You. We are Your servants. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
