Two of the most prominent individuals in the Old Testament are David and Moses. One began to serve the Lord when he was a very young man. The other began to serve the Lord when he was much older. Whether young or old it didn’t matter. What mattered was their faith.
One faced a giant, the other faced a Pharaoh. The power of their enemies didn’t matter. What mattered was their faith.
They both had to face impossible odds with little or no help from those around them. They beat the impossible odds with God’s help. What mattered was their faith.
David should be an example to the young. Moses should be an example to the old. There are giants and Pharaohs all around. It doesn’t matter. What matters is faith.
We should all try to have productive lives throughout our entire lifetimes. Try to be a David and a Moses, and we can if we have faith (Romans 10:17; Hebrews 11:6; 1 John 5:4).
