Jeremiah 1:7-8

But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord.

There are some things in life you are too young to do. Do you remember that when you were younger? Remember being told “you’re too young for _____ or to do _____?” Doesn’t it hurt to know you’re too young to do something you really want to do?

But did you know there is one thing you’re never too young to do?

That’s right. Serving and glorifying God has no age requirement. It has no age restrictions. In fact, you can glorify God at any age.

Jeremiah the prophet found that out when God called him to ministry. Jeremiah was scared to preach to the people of Israel. He was scared of the reaction and because he had no experience. By all accounts, Jeremiah was a teenager when God called him to preach. But God knew age and any other excuse Jeremiah had would be blown away by God’s promise of his presence and the fact God had appointed Jeremiah to do this. Age wasn’t a reason not to glorify God. God would overcome any perceived obstacle to unleash Jeremiah as a representative for his kingdom.

There is also no hurdle in the way of you serving, worshiping, and glorifying God in your life. Maybe your excuse isn’t age anymore. It could be inexperience or fear or inability or something else.

But guess what? God has appointed you too.

He has appointed you long before the world began to be his representative and be in his kingdom. He made that happen when he called you to faith and infused you with the Holy Spirit. He set you apart for the purpose of glorifying his name and singing his praise through your words and actions. That’s no small thing God has called and equipped you to do.

No excuses! God has called you to bring him glory through your life.
