Psalm 71:5 "For You are my Hope, O Lord GOD, You are my confidence from my youth."

I am reminded from time to time about my youth. I remember being so very, very zealous about my faith. He, The Lord GOD indeed was my hope and confidence. Not me, not anything made by man, not anything of this earth.... GOD Himself was my all in all. My everything. I still feel that way, but life can take a toll on one's zeal. I desire to find that boldness again. I don't want to be young again, I just want to have the passion for Him that drove me every day to be bold. To be full of zest and zeal. To have Him daily be my confidence and hope.

David got in touch with something from when he was younger. Not a fountain of youth, but a fountain of faith. Join me in seeking that inner zeal from when you first knew The LORD. Don't just reminisce about it, re-energize and recommit. Lord, restore the hope and confidence of our youth, so we can share You as the Hope and Confidence of our youth today.

With His Hope and Confidence,

Pastor Fred
