Bible Question: King David said " I was a child now I am a old man but I have not seen God forsaking his children" or words to that effect. Where do I find this verse? Please help. |
Bible Answer: One would beg to know why you are interested in that verse at this time. We look for it sometimes when we wonder if God has forsaken us. But those who read that passage might also want to read Hebrews 13:5. Stay away from the love of money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, "I will never fail you. I will never forsake you." Sometimes, when we look at the prosperity of those who seem to be less righteous than we are, we can stumble (Psalm 73). Please note that the passage in question is an observation on the part of David, and it does not reference a promise made by God. The writer had never seen it, but it does not mean it does not happen. Some righteous people do suffer want (1 Corinthians 4:11; Philippians 4:12). But that does not mean God has forsaken us (Romans 8:35). The promise is that he never will (Isaiah 49:15). |
