The Best Is Yet to Come-Deuteronomy 34:1-12
Are the best days of your life behind or in front of you? The overall outlook on life-and our answer to that question-can change with time. When we are younger, we look ahead, wanting to grow up. And once we have grown older, we yearn for the past, wanting to be young again. But when we walk with God, whatever our age, the best is yet to come!
Over the course of his long life, Moses witnessed the amazing things God did, and many of those amazing things happened when he was no longer a young man. Moses was 80 years old when he confronted Pharaoh and say God miraculously set His people free from slavery (Exodus 3). Moses saw the Red Sea part, saw manna fall from heaven, and even spoke with God "face to face".
Throughout his life, Moses lived expectantly, looking ahead to what God would do (Hebrews 11:24-27). He was 120 years old in his final year of life on this earth, and even then he understood that his life with God was just getting started and that he would never see an end to God's greatness and love.
Regardless of our age, "the eternal God is our refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms" (Deuteronomy 33:27) that faithfully carry us into His joy each day. When we walk with God, the best is yet to come.
