Young and Old Alike!

Today’s Scripture Readings:
OT: Job 32
NT: John 12
W&W: Psalm 71.17-24

Today’s Reflection:
Like the Psalmist said in Psalm 71.5, God is my hope. He has been my confidence since youth. As a young teen of 14, God saved me, forgiving my sin and giving me eternal life in Jesus. But “even from birth,” even before I knew Christ personally, I relied on God – without even knowing it! And he was faithful to me.

I have learned, however, that God is not only the God of my youth. He is my God in maturity as well. He has not and will not cast me away now that I am older and my strength isn’t what it used to be (v. 9). I always have hope (v. 14)!

Whatever season of life you are in right now, God is your hope. Have confidence in him!

This Week’s Scripture to Memorize:
1 John 1.1: That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.
