God's FaithfulnessFaithfulness Through Generations
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
David reflects on a lifetime of observing God's faithfulness, testifying that he has never seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging.
This verse captures accumulated wisdom from decades of watching God work. David doesn't promise prosperity or ease, but affirms that God never abandons those who are faithful to Him. The emphasis is on sustained provision - not luxury, but daily bread, not only for individuals but extending to their families.
For Today
Write down one way God has provided for you in the past, and let that memory strengthen your faith for present needs.
Prayer
Faithful God, You have proven Your care through countless generations. When I doubt Your provision, remind me of Your track record of faithfulness. Help me trust You not just for myself but for those who depend on me. Amen.
