--------------------------
As we grow older, our range of future possibilities seems to get smaller and smaller. Our health and our age may conspire against us and do not allow us to do what we once could. What we have left to look forward to seems a bit disappointing.
Still, our God is a God for whom the future is not foreclosed; it is still wide-open. Our God made creation out of nothing, brought birth out of barrenness, and will bring resurrection out of death. Our God may well make promises of blessing to people who think they are past their prime.
Abram was seventy-five years old. His wife Sarai was nearly as old, and she was barren. Yet God said to Abram, “‘Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great....’ So Abram went as the Lord had told him” (Genesis 12:1-2, 4). In that last, short sentence, which described the obedience of Abram and Sarai, we see that the lives of this couple were really just beginning. Though they were past their prime, their faithful response modeled the trust and the hope we too can have in God who calls us.
