Another of the many Psalms to savor is the 37th
Psalm. If the world feels out of control, if you see evil rising and wonder,
“Where is God?” this Psalm will bring comfort and a firm foundation. Our God
will vindicate. Through Jesus, our righteous reward remains steadfast and forever.
Delight yourself in Him and trust Him, above all you see in this temporal
world. He will keep us safe as we trust Him.
Trust in
the Lord and do good. Dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in
the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:3-4
These two verses
speak volumes to us in living life. “Trust in God! Do good! Take delight in the Lord! He will give you
the desires of your heart!” So much
promise and truth for us. When we look to Him in faith and trust, our desires
will match His will and we will find peace and joy right in the midst of chaos
and evil.
One day soon, God
will vanquish evil and we will inherit the new heaven and the new earth. Hang
on to His hope.
A little
while, and the wicked will be no more. Though you look for them, they will not
be found. But the meek will inherit the land and will enjoy peace and
prosperity. Psalm 37:10-11
Finally, in this
Psalm, God gives us a promise. Even though we stumble, (and we will!) He will
lead us into forever.
The Lord
makes firm the steps of the one who delights in Him. Though he may stumble, he
will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand. Psalm 37:23-24
Lord,
We take refuge in You as you uphold us with Your hand. Keep
Your Word in our hearts as we make our way in the world. One day all will be
new. Forever awaits.
In Jesus name,
Amen
