We become wise, Lord, and begin to understand our place and yours only when our hair is white, our minds slowed, our joints unable to leap to do your will.

    You may be at a point in your life where it seems like all options are gone—financially, emotionally, spiritually, or relationally. But remember: dead ends are not dead to God. He sees a path where you see a wall. What looks like the end is often the beginning of something greater in His plan.
