When David was an old man He knew that serving God always paid off.
Psalm 37:5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
If you will walk with your faith in God and live your life to please Him, He will commit Himself to taking care of you.
Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
God's will for us is that we stay the course, that we trust and obey..
There will be an end to our struggles down the line, but for the moment, we are to faithfully abide in the will of the Lord, and allow Him to have His will in us.

“When we walk with the Lord — in the light of His Word. — What a glory He sheds on our way. — While we do His good will, — He abides with us still, — And with all who will trust and obey.
“Trust and obey, — for there’s no other way — To be happy in Jesus, — but to trust and obey.
“Not a shadow can rise, — not a cloud in the skies, — But His smile quickly drives it away; — Not a doubt or a fear, — not a sigh or a tear, — Can abide while we trust and obey.
“Not a burden we bear, — not a sorrow we share, — But our toil He doth richly repay; — Not a grief or a loss, — not a frown or a cross, — But is blessed if we trust and obey. —
But we never can prove — the delights of His love — Until all on the altar we lay. — For the favor He shows, — for the joy He bestows, — Are for them who will trust and obey
“Then in fellowship sweet — we will sit at His feet, — Or we’ll walk by His side in the way; — What He says we will do, — where He sends we will go; — Never fear, only trust and obey.”
John H. Sammis 1887
