    Jump!

    by TerryLema June 26, 2025

    As I have aged, I’ve discovered some things are getting harder to do and I need to find alternatives. For example, lids on jars are now opened with a tool rather. Small print needs a magnifying glass. Ripping open packaging requires a scissor. Threading a needle requires a needle threader and a magnifying glass.

    I’ve also discovered that some things aren’t even possible to do anymore. Every Sunday I lament that I have lost my ability to jump. Now at 78 jumping is not something I can do even though I would so love to jump during song service, especially when I see Pastor Paco and others jumping as they worship.

    So, I’ve learned to compensate by finding alternatives for the “harder” things, and I’m waiting until I get that glorified body to “jump” when the heavenly choirs start singing.

    While I am waiting, it is comforting and reassuring that our God has no such limitations. Nothing is too difficult or impossible for Him. “Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.” [Jeremiah 32:17]

    We can look at the mess our world is in and bemoan that evil SEEMS all-powerful and nothing can be done to stem the tide. Or we can look at our Sovereign LORD, the Almighty One, and begin to intercede in power for righteousness and truth. Nothing is too hard for our God. 

    We cannot let the world underestimate our SAVIOR and LORD. We must display His Almighty power in our everyday lives – no matter our age – even when we can no longer Jump!
