Young People – God can lead you too

* Young People – God will lead you, if you want Him to. *

Moving through my 40s & 50s I had no preconceived idea of what age for retirement. In my 6^th pastoral year at Westfield I became aware they’d never had a pastor this age (might be ready for a younger man) & seriously sought the Lord about the future. On 3/5/13 while reading Jer 4 words in verse 6 stood out, “…retire, stay not…” (When counting up later, this was at least the 22^nd time I’d read Jer 4.) As I re-read it in my devotions this AM, I was naturally reminded of God’s wonderful guidance. To God’s glory, I can say I’ve had His leadership in every move/position since college. (Yes, long-term-friends, even when you shook your heads. 🙂 ) But never was His direction (3/5/13) more clear.

* Younger reader, I’m no one special; you ALSO can have His holy leadings. *
