“Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.” — Exodus 7:7

Two Texas grandmothers recently became a media sensation by traveling around the world in eighty days at the age of eighty-one. Best friends traveling the world for twenty-three years, visited all seven continents. They started in Antarctica, danced the tango in Argentina, rode camels in Egypt and sledded at the North Pole. They visited 18 countries including Zambia, India, Nepal, Bali, Japan, Rome and ended their trip in Australia. The friends hope that they have inspired future generations to enjoy travel, regardless of their age.

In the book of Exodus, we read about two 80-year-old men who were called by God to a life of adventure. He urged Moses to go to Pharaoh and demand that he free God’s people from slavery. God sent Moses’ older brother, Aaron, to support him. “Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh” (Ex. 7:7).

Such a request would seem terrible at any age, but God chose these brothers, and they carried out His instructions. “And Moses and Aaron entered Pharaoh, and they did as the Lord commanded” (v. 10).

Moses and Aaron had the privilege of witnessing how God delivered His people from more than 400 years of slavery. God can use us at any age. So let us follow Him wherever He leads.

How have you seen God’s faithfulness manifest in your life? How can you serve Him?

Dear God, please help me to follow You all the days of my life.
