At Eighty

By the time we’ve hit middle age, though, we have somehow become wildly opposed to change. We’ve created routines and we cling to them like life rafts. They are soothing and safe. Most of us won’t change jobs or move across the street (let alone across the country). We don’t even want to alter our coffee order if we can help it. Is this really God’s best intention for us?

Divine Victory

We are still consumed with our transformation from slavery to sonship, sin was the contestant whip at our backs. God knows our pre-occupation with becoming His alone, applauds it and promises to clear out the enemy on our behalf. Like the Israelites, we don’t need some brilliant offensive strategy, we just need to stay close to God.
