What do you want to do about it? God used ALL the characters we've looked at in their later years. Some did not finish well. Let's learn from them.

We meet Paul first in Acts 7 as Stephen was being stoned to death. He was a persecutor of the early church. After his dramatic conversion on the Damascus Road, Paul spent 3 years learning from Christ in the Arabian desert and then 14 years in the church at Antioch before launching his missionary journeys.

What would we do with 15 years if God added them to our lives? Would we live them for ourselves or would we live those extra years for God? Hezekiah's son Manasseh was born during these extra 15 years, yet grew up to be one of Judah's most wicked kings. This suggests that Hezekiah failed to invest spiritually in his son during his extended years.
