This past week I’ve been studying/meditating on Psalm 37. It has blessed me in so many ways. It is a wisdom psalm of David focusing on trusting God when circumstances seem to be against you. The psalm teaches to not fret about injustice. The word “fret” literally means to burn or get heated. When someone does wrong towards me or my family I can feel the fire flow through my veins, but David warns us that it only leads to harm. He gives us some alternate methods to dealing with the injustice facing us. He tells us to be still and wait, to do good, and to ultimately find our primary joy in the Lord. This is my life long pursuit. May God be our main source, our main focus, our main desire, our everything.
Psalm 37:3-4
Trust in the Lord and do what is good;
dwell in the land and live securely.
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you your heart’s desires
