You are not alone

God doesn’t abandon His children who follow Him…

'Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread. The godly always give generous loans to others, and their children are a blessing. ' Psalms 37:25-26

as i look back on my day when reading this, i am in the latter half of my life. it does ring true that i was young and now i’m older. for some it is scary, for me it is a realization that i cannot, should not, take for granted our relationship with God the Father, the creator of all Heaven and earth.

while i was not always ‘godly’, i did try my best to be generous. despite my failures when chasing after the world ($$$), and i lost it all a few times, He still provided for my family. we had food in our stomach, clothes on our backs, our home, and He never let us feel alone and left to suffer.

there were many times i wished i was young again. now, though it pops in my head infrequently, i can look forward to what the future holds. i have seen the goodness of God in my life - though we may not have what we had, my family and i lack nothing. for this i must always be grateful and offer gratitude and appreciation to The Lord by actually living out our lives as He intended.

dear Heavenly Father, thank you for allowing me to go through the tough times, learning lessons that otherwise would have been lost on me if you allowed the world to take your place. you are Our Provider and i know that all that we have has come from you. even though you could have taken it all away completely, you showed me grace and mercy. teach me to be godly and extend the same to those you place in my life. in Jesus’ name i pray, amen!
