Psalm 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. The aged Christian is able, from his own experience, to testify to the protecting care of a Divine Father's love. The difference between the testimony of an old man and a very young man is the difference between knowledge and supposition, between fact and surmise; it is the difference between the words of a veteran who carries the scars, the sword-cuts, and the bullet-wounds of many battlefields, and the words of the ruddy-faced youth who has not yet won his shoulder-straps. Parallel Verses KJV: I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. |
