I would have never thought that at the age of 30 that life would still look pretty much the same. The struggles between understanding everything that goes on in this world and finding my place in this circle of life still continues. The tension with pain, trials are still there. Sadly, even after 30 years I can't say that I've mastered the art of juggling and managing life. Embarrassed to say that my response to what life throws at me have not been 'making lemonade of the lemons'. Wouldn't life experience of walking with the Lord for so many years lead to greater trust in Him? A closer more intimate experience with the One True God? 

Maybe it's because as humans we often forget the mighty deeds and works of the Lord. We have short temporal vision that does not look beyond the immediate. Our minds are stuck and limited to the here and now. For truly, God always come true in His own ways. In His own timing. He fails not and His track record since creation has been consistent. A guaranteed return on investment. 

David a man after God's heart fills the book of Psalms with 'Remember me O God'. Surely, the Lord who led him all the way is with David all the way. He kept David standing all through his life on earth. Personally selecting him from the obscure sheep pasture and making him King. Giving him the honour of honour to be the family that brings the Lord Jesus into this world. Giving Solomon his son the privilege of building the first and the grandest Temple of God. To raise him above all Israel and give him favour. 

Isa 46:9 Remember the things I have done in the past. For I alone am God! I am God, and there is none like me. 

Heb 10:35 So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!
