You Are Not Too Late for Purpose - Restorative Devotional

NEW BEGINNINGS DAILY RESTORATIVE DEVOTIONAL

Edition #011 – Friday, 11 July 2025

Theme: You’re Not Too Late

Scripture:

"The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former," says the Lord of hosts.

~ Haggai 2:9 (KJV)

Message:

There’s a voice that creeps in when you hit 40… 50… 60…

That voice whispers:

“It’s too late.”

“You’ve missed your chance.”

“Others are far ahead.”

But the Word of God always counters the lie.

God is not stuck in time!! He created time.

What seems like delay may be divine preparation.

And what looks like the end of a chapter may actually be the beginning of a testimony.

Abraham was nearly 100. Moses began at 80.

Even Jesus didn’t begin His public ministry until 30.

Hear this : There is no Expiry Date on Purpose. 

Even when the world writes you off, God writes you in.

Even when you feel like you’re walking into a season “late,” God says,

“I’ve just been preparing the table for you.”

You’re not too old.

You’re not too late.

You’re right on time… for your New Beginning.

💡 LIFE APPLICATION:

Stop apologizing for your age or your pace.

Instead, show up with wisdom, courage, and grace.

God’s glory in your latter days will be greater..... if you can dare to believe it.

🙏 Declaration Prayer:

Lord, thank You that my story is not over.

I surrender the fear of being late and embrace the truth that You make all things beautiful in Your time.

Lead me forward with peace, purpose, and boldness. Amen.

📖 Bible in a Year Reading:

📚 Genesis 35–37

(We previously repeated Gen 30–31. Thank you for your understanding as we grow together.)

💬 Quote of the Day:

"Delay is not denial. God’s timing is not just perfect!  It’s purposeful."

Laugh Again, Live Again - The Reset Table

🍽️ THE RESET TABLE 🍇🦐🍟🍰

Edition #001 | Week of Monday, 7 July 2025

MID-WEEKLY PROMPT:

Laugh Aloud Again. Live Life Again.

My Dear Friend 🧡 

This week at THE RESET TABLE …

We’re letting go of hidden despair, and daring to believe again.

Just like Sarah, your life may not look "picture perfect" like you would love it to be, but that doesn’t mean God is done with you.

You are not too late.

You are not too old.

You are not too poor. 

You are not too "forgotten."

This week, I dare you to take time to reflect on what you stopped believing or hoping for. 

Was it healing? 

Peace of mind? 

Love? 

A second chance? 

Purpose? 

A Wish for your family?

Something about your children?

Joy? 

One Winning Business idea? 

Restoration?

What?

Take time to reflect on it. Revisit it. Think about that thing! 

RESET TABLE FAITH:

God is still in the business of Working Wonders!! He is still able. And He still writes beautiful stories. 🕺💃🏾 

🤺 RESET TABLE EXERCISE for You to Do!:

+ Write a “Faith Letter” to your future self, not based on where you are right now, but based on what God can still do! 

+ Seal it with a prayer. 

+ Place it somewhere sacred.

📌 Optional: Date it for ONE YEAR from now and REVISIT it.

+ Remember the SAFE PLACE you will keep it... 🏀💃🏾✍️

+ Then, Trust God for His Grace.

🔁 RESET TABLE AFFIRMATION:

I give myself permission to laugh again. 

I will no longer shrink my dreams to fit my fears.  

I am becoming, by God's Grace 👑 

I am entering into my New Season of Grace 👑 🙌

Prevent Heart Attack By Doing This At Night

 BRUSHING YOUR TEETH AT NIGHT CAN KEEP YOU HEALTHIER.

Can not brushing your teeth at night cause heart attacks?

Is it possible to get a heart attack from not brushing teeth at night?

Not directly, but yes. It can increase your risk over time.  Here’s why:

When you don’t brush your teeth, especially at night, germs (bacteria) build up in your mouth. These germs build up and can cause gum disease. 

Now here’s the scary part - those same germs can enter your bloodstream, travel through your body, and cause inflammation in your heart and blood vessels.

So, if you often ignore brushing, especially before bed at night, it could lead to serious health problems, including heart attacks.

That’s why dentists and doctors say: Healthy mouth = Healthy heart.

------------------------------

What is Atherosclerosis?

Imagine your blood vessels (the tubes that carry blood around your body) are like water pipes in your house.

Now, imagine if someone poured greasy gunk (like butter, fat, and tiny bits of junk) into those pipes every day.

Over time, that gunk starts to stick to the inside of the pipes. The hole then gets smaller and smaller, and water can’t flow properly.

That’s what happens in your body.

The gunk is called plaque, and it builds up in your blood vessels. This is called atherosclerosis.

* If too much plaque builds up:

* Blood can’t get through easily.

* Your heart has to work harder.

Sometimes, the plaque can even block the blood completely or burst, which causes a heart attack.

So, to keep your "blood pipes" clean, it's important to eat well, exercise, and even brush your teeth, because germs can make those pipes worse too!
