Then יהוה said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I in truth bear a child, old as I am?’ (Genesis 18:13)
We often make excuses for why we are unable to do something. “I am too old” is one I hear myself saying more and more. I am too old to learn X. I am too old to climb Y. I am too old to play Z. While it is true that our bodies do become more limited and in many cases it might be dangerous to try certain activities, there is so much we are capable of doing. God has so much in store for us, as long as we don’t close our eyes to the possibilities. For some, there are infinite reasons for not trying new things. To you, I say, maybe it is time to try something new. Just be careful.
