The Lord says:
"Beloved, let My light shine in your heart, and you'll begin to 'see'! Seeing the many good that I want to do in your life this season! Seeing you aren't too late yet, even if the enemy wants you to think so! Seeing that I understand and care for that 'tricky situation' you are in right now! And seeing your answer is right on the way!"
The Lord says further:
"My love for you fails not. Let go of your guilt, condemnation and regret, whatever it may be. Old things have passed away, and all things have become new. Do not lose heart, and do not be discouraged, for I AM with you."
Indeed, God's love for you fails not, and no matter what your past failure or mistake may be, He hasn't forgotten you. And if you think you are too late or too old for a new lease of life, the good news is you are not!
In the book of Exodus chapter 3, when the Lord met Moses at the burning bush, He said to him, "I am the God of your father - the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians..." (Exodus 3:6-8a)
The Lord then said to him, "Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt." (Exodus 3:10) But Moses answered, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?" (Exodus 3:11)
For the record, some forty years ago, Moses had tried, and he failed miserably. Those days, having looked at the burdens of his fellow Hebrew brethren, and seeing an Egyptian beating one of them, he took matters into his own hands and killed the Egyptian (Exodus 2:11-12). This act was found out by Pharaoh who then sought to kill him, and Moses had no choice but to flee from Egypt. So here he was, forty years on, from being a prince in Egypt to an old, forgotten nobody in the desert!
Beloved, have you felt like time is not on your side anymore? You are running late, and for some of you, you have even felt like you have 'missed the bus' altogether! That was what Moses felt too when he said, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?" After all, he was already eighty years old, and was no more the mighty, eloquent man he used to be!
But God! At the point when Moses had nothing in himself to boast about anymore, and at the time most unexpected to him, the Lord saw him ready for a great work that He was about to do. As you'd already have known, Moses did not look back ever since, and with the rod of God that's in his hand, he eventually led his people out of the bondage of the Egyptians successfully.
The Lord is still the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). There is nothing too difficult for Him, no matter how you think you blew it, or how useless you think you are right now. Just as the Lord asked Moses, "What is that in your hand?", and Moses answered, "A rod". The Lord asked him to cast the rod on the ground, and then pick it up again. This same rod was with Moses as the Lord did great signs and wonders, and even opened the Red Sea through him (Exodus 4:17, Exodus 14:16).
Today, the Lord is also asking you the same, "What is that in your hand?" There must be something in you (it may be a talent, a skill, or anything else) that He can use, no matter how insignificant you think it is. Let the Lord use it, and He will know how to turn things around for you!
This is the time to declare that your miracle and deliverance is coming your way! The Lord has spoken, and He is a God who keeps His promises. Your part is to believe and receive! Indeed, old things have passed away, and all things have become new. This is also the time to declare there will be a restoration of your calling in life, and there will be a new authority coming in your life! And like Moses at that juncture of his life, the best is yet to come in your life too. Amen!
