God loves the law, and He does not forsake those He loves. Until forever they will be preserved (Psalm 37:28)
This attitude has served me well so far, but now I have to reconsider using it. After looking into the mirror carefully, my eyes confirmed that now I was not as young as I thought.
Being young has many advantages, but with old age comes the joy that reflects God's faithfulness. David reminds us in Psalm 37, "I was young, now I am old, but I have never seen the righteous forsaken" (verse 25).
Now that I am in my fifties, I reflect and wonder how I could ever think that God abandoned me. Indeed He allowed me to face difficulties that seemed insurmountable, but now I know that they happened only to shape me. God always takes care of me, and when I fall, I know "the Lord [who] supports [my] hand" (v. 24).
God's faithfulness we know all the time; In joy and sorrow He unites; So often God is ready to help, Answer prayer, give new strength. --F. Hess
