Introduction:

Psalm 37:25-26 is a powerful verse that speaks to God’s faithfulness and provision for His people.

The psalmist, David, writes, “I have been young and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken nor his children begging bread. They are ever giving liberally and lending and their children become a blessing.”

This verse is a great reminder that God will always be there for His people, even when times are tough. No matter what we are going through, we can trust that God will take care of us and our families.

This is a key part of living a righteous life. When we give freely to others, we are showing that we trust God to provide for our own needs.

The psalmist concludes by saying that the children of the righteous will be blessed. This is not because they deserve it, but because of God’s favour.

God loves the children of His people, and He desires to bless them.
