I learnt this in the morning in Bible School when P. Chee Keen was teaching O.T Studies from the Book of 1 Samuel. This is about the call of the prophet Samuel.
He was not older than 11 or 12 when God called him.
What does that teach us?
Age is not a barrier to God calling me.
What encouragement! How that warms my heart!
This shows us too, that children can develop an understanding of the things of God from a young age.
I can testify to that. When I was about 10, God started to do a deep work in my heart.
I started to develop a love and hunger for the things of God. It was not me. It was God doing His work in my life. Why me? I don't know, but all I can say is Praise God! It is His grace and mercy. His grace and mercy.
Now let us go about our lives believing that age is not a barrier to God calling us. Be it at 10 or at 60, God can still call you. And when He calls, how will you respond?
And to all you young ones out there:
Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in
conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
