Psalm 37:25 "I was young, and now I am old; yet never have I seen the righteous forsaken, or their children begging for bread."

Lately I have been a frequent observer of the trials of aging. I have seen the physical and intellectual frailty, and felt the anxiety that unwelcome change brings. I have witnessed joy, laughter, tears, anger, and sadness. I have felt powerless to change circumstances, and have tried hard to listen, love, and help.

What comfort the words of I Peter 5:7, "Cast all your anxiety (cares) on Him because He cares for you."

I do not have to know about the exact details of the future, because God is already there. That is peace.
