**Psalms 37:25** — *"I once was young and now am old, yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging for bread."*
This is not poetry. This is testimony — the measured witness of a man who had watched decades unfold and kept a careful account of what he saw.
David does not say the righteous never suffered. He says they were never *abandoned*. The covenant holds even when the cupboard is bare, even when the season is long, even when provision arrives in forms we did not anticipate or request.
There is a difference between a trial and an abandonment. Scripture reminds us that God's faithfulness is not measured by our comfort, but by His covenant — and that covenant has never failed a single soul who walked in His ways.
Consider the elder in your life who has weathered much and still speaks of God's goodness without flinching. Their testimony is its own scripture.
Let us reflect on what faithful endurance produces in those who witness it.
