I Was Young And Now I Am Old

The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.

I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.

They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be a blessing.

Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.

For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones.

Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed; the offspring of the wicked will perish.

The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.

The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues speak what is just.

The law of their God is in their hearts; their feet do not slip.

Psalm 37:23-31

How do we share our relationship with the Lord? Just by telling stories…But how did those stories begin? A grandmother or grandfather reading Bible stories; a childhood Bible; remembering the day you were saved; going back to the church when you were in your early forties.

There are beautiful descriptions of God’s leading and faithfulness, reflecting on God’s guidance – the people, places, and experiences that are landmarks on our pathway of faith. Every remembrance of the Lord’s goodness encourages us to keep walking with Him and to thank someone who influenced us for good.

The Lord guides and guards all who walk with Him.

You are headed in the right direction when you walk with God.
