We see and hear all kinds of testimonials from famous people in advertising today. We know they are used in ads to lend the authority of their name to the product. When we hear a testimonial, we’d better find out who said it, what was said and if we can really believe it.

We find a encouraging testimonials in verse 25: Think of David as a young Shepherd taking care of his sheep, God gave him strength to overcome the lion, to defeat the bear and strength to over come the giant, Goliath. God took care of him at each stage in His life. Even David the sinner saw God provide for him.

David said “I have been young and now I am old; but I’ve never seen God forsake His own”. I’ve never seen One of God’s children left alone. God has been faithful through the years. We don’t have to be afraid of being young or getting old, because He remains with us.

God always is faithful to His people. The history of Israel confirms His faithfulness. That He will never leave you nor forsake you is a great promise. And you can expect Him to keep His promises.
