Start looking carefully of Hisworking in your life. Don't get discouraged, trusting that He is hearing you when you pray. Believe that He is in the midst of your circumstances and working on your behalf! Then find hope in the One who will sustain you, and carry you and He will rescue you! Isaiah 46:4 "Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you, I have made you and I will carry you, I will sustain you and I will rescue you." Do you believe this? STOP WORRYING!
Did you know that God is the only one ever to know the end from the beginning?
Yeah, we never know what’s going to happen until it happens, right?
The question is inevitable. If He knows how it’s going to end, why doesn’t He change it? Why does he let it happen?
I really don’t know if I have a good answer for that. But, I’ll take a shot. He’s God. Isaiah 46 says, “For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me…” So, He doesn’t have to tell me why. It’s His prerogative how He handles things. He says He knows the outcome of things not yet started. He says that He declares the end from the beginning. So there’s that.
But, He also says that if I want my outcomes to change, it might be good to talk to Him before I step into it.
Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
So for whoever needs it, (that’s all of us), before you do it, ask Him. Then wait. The answer will come.
Trust Him.

I saw a young man at the gym today that I have known for all of his life. I knew he had a birthday coming so I went on and asked how old he’ll be. He told me that he would be 38. Then he said, “Hard to believe, ain’t it?” I said “Not near as hard to believe as is the fact that you’re getting older and I’m not.”
Later, I read this. “The Lord promises His continued love and concern for us as we age.”
The Bible says, “I will be your God throughout your lifetime -- until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.”Isaiah 46:4
How’s that for encouragement?
The older I get, the more I find comfort in the fact that I can go about life and no matter what comes, gray hair and all, Jesus is there.
Thank you Lord for keeping me.
