Christian Devotional – May 11, 2012

VERSE:
2 Kings 11:21–Joash was seven years old when he became king.

TRUTH:
Age is one of the characteristics that we immediately notice when we see someone. Yet, it is not a determining factor to God when He chooses to use people. Do we limit ourselves because of age? Do we assume that before a certain age or after a certain age we are not useful to God? God has a plan and a purpose for all of us, no matter our age. What matters is our willingness to be obedient to Him. 

RESPONSE:
Father, I pray You will help me to see past the physical limitations and help me to just be willing to obey whatever You ask.

EXTRAS: As it is Mother’s Day this weekend, a friend of mine, Darlene Shortridge, is offering a free download of her Christian Fiction Book, “Until Forever.” You can read this on your computer or e-reader. This is a wonderful story that speaks to the power of prayer and forgiveness. You can read my review of the book here. Please check it out and download your FREE copy today:  CLICK HERE!
