Reading Psalm 37 today. It never fails to amaze me how relevant the psalms really are.
Times will change, people come into our life and go, but one thing that remains constant is the Lord himself. When we think about who our amazing God is, that he created everything we see or have ever heard of, and then contemplate that he loves and cares about all the details of our life.
How can we not take delight in him? Take a moment and read this psalm, out loud to yourself. Maybe two or three times until the words begin to make it down from your head into your heart.
Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
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.
Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes." Psalm 37:1-7 (NIV)
