Psalm 37!

ssYears ago I was going through some ordeal that had really upset me. I prayed for His guidance and it always came just at the right time. It was Psalm 37.

As I read this beautiful Psalm I knew He had heard my pitiful crying. It was wonderful to know that Almighty God, who is very busy, had time to instruct me and give me confidence. Here is a synopsis of my take on this Psalm.

#1. Verse 1. Fret not thyself because of evildoers.
Why? For thy will be cut down.

#2. Verse 3. Trust in the Lord and do good.
Why? So you will dwell in the land and be fed.

#3. Verse 4. Delight yourself in The Lord.
Why? So He will give you the desires of your heart.

#4. Verse 5. Commit thy way unto The Lord, and trust in Him.
Why? so he can bring forth your righteousness as the light and your judgement as the noonday.

#5. Verse 7. Rest in The Lord, and wait patiently for Him: fret not thyself because of those who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings forth wicked devices to pass.

#6. Verse 8. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not to do evil.
Why? Because the evil doers shall be cut off.
The Lord tells us how evil will be cut off untill verse 27

#7. Verse 27. Depart from evil, and do good.
Why? Because The Lord loves judgement and he perserves His saints.

#8. Verse 34. Wait on The Lord, and keep His way.
Why? So he can exalt you to inherit the land.

#9. Verse 37. Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is PEACE!

Verse 40. He will deliver those who trust in THE Lord.
