“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. (Ps 37:25 KJV) Ever had someone give up on you . . . .turn their back on you. . . .abandon you? Those of us who have experienced it can tell you, being forsaken is not a feeling or position to be coveted. It leaves one disappointed, discouraged and with many unanswered questions. While the possibility always exists that man will forsake us, no such possibility exist with God! Taking a retrospective look over the years of his life, the psalmist David accurately observed that from generation to generation, God had never and will never forsake the righteous. He will always provide for their every need!
Prayer: Lord, thank you for being a faithful God and never forsaking the righteous! We are grateful that are your children and live in expectation and not in want. Amen!
Ps 9:9-10. . . . The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
NIV
