Another of the many
Psalms to savor is the 37th Psalm. When the world feels out of
control, when 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 how to live 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 in 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 this 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 words in our hearts as we make our way in the world. May evil be
vanquished and freedom reign. One day all will be new. Forever awaits.
In Jesus name,
Amen
