David Jeremiah lives by this philosophy: “When you follow God’s will for your life, you can see how yesterday’s events prepared you for today’s challenge and tomorrow’s opportunities.”

At age 83, his mind is constantly moving forward, but occasionally it takes a step back in time to a bright summer day over 70 years ago. He was about 12 years old and visiting his uncle’s farm.

“My uncle had two silos sitting next to each other,” he says, “and I was going to climb up on the outside of one of them and get in on top of the silage to just look around. But when I got to the top and looked in, there was nothing all the way to the ground. I had made a mistake and got the one that wasn’t filled, and if I had taken one more step, it would have all been over. I tremblingly got back down, and I never forgot that.”
