For long-time and life-long believers, the walk of faith is the walk of life, and that walk is often full of struggles with both God and the church. But through it all we remain faithful to the God who loves us, and have a great treasure in wisdom to share with those new or unfamiliar with the faith by witnessing to that struggle. Meditation on Psalm 71:17-18 by Pastor Lars Hammar of Lord of Grace Lutheran Church of Marana, Arizona.
17 O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
18 So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to all the generations to come. Your power
