"Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three when they made their demands to Pharaoh."
Moses and Aaron were already old men when God called them to begin the great work God had for them. (Side note: Age was not one of the objections Moses gave to God in Exodus 3:11–13. Perhaps he never got that far before God silenced his excuses by revealing who God is.) It took that long for God to prepare them, apparently. Can we ever use the excuse that we're too old to do what God calls us to do? We need patience to wait, then courage to act when God says it's time.
