This list is an interesting concept but is it in the Bible? Or is it a biblical concept? I’ve never heard such a teaching before. I’d love to pass it on but would love to first find out where this is in the Bible.
Thank you.

I recently just started a new journey in life and sooooooo many times have wondered, if I have started too late or perhaps just don't have enough time to accomplish all the incredible dreams and ideas God has put into my heart. Just like Jimmy said, "I better get to work!"

Thanks so much for this. It’s a good counterpoint to a statement I’ve been working on for some time, using the theme of God as creator of history. In this case one could say, “It’s the poorly written stories that end prematurely. God is not a poor craftsman. Ergo, your story isn’t over yet.”

Reading your post, I get the feeling this line of thought is on the right track. Thank you.

Yes, he was. He was 40 when he murdered the Egyptian and had to flee for his life. It looks like the end. It was only the beginning.

Did those who died eternally lost fulfill their purpose? Assuming it isn't God's purpose that anyone perish, then why did God allow them to die? It IS encouraging to have the thought "my best days are ahead" , but I think the 6-point logic may apply only to those who are in Christ. Or was that the assumed?

Wasn't Moses 80 when he saw the burning bush? Sometimes we need to have some wilderness time to be matured or aged so that we're up for God's purpose in our lives. It can feel like an awfully long wait though, especially if you know you have a calling in a certain area.

Michael
Great observation. I would add that very often the things in life that have smashed us up along the way are exactly what give us more to share in our final years. Only through trials does knowledge become wisdom, does Sinai become Deuteronomy. I have a post on this on my blog if anyone's interested called "Knowledge and Wisdom." Like grapes and grain and even garlic, we were made to be crushed so that others can benefit. It's such a helpful concept to grasp, particularly for men. God takes Alpha Males and beats them up until He has Omega Males, like your friend.
Kind regards,
Mike Bull

Michael,
I want to simplify my earlier comment. What my mom taught was:
1. Accept God's will.
2. Understand God's will includes a purpose – then find it
3. Know everything has a purpose that manifests Joy
4. Become the Joy of God within the chosen purpose of being His physical manifestation as a human on this planet.

That 4th point is the biggest one of my personal journey because my mom would never have achieved it without my dad. He was the ultimate example of compassion and humility. The joyful caretaker.
