~ Good Morning and Hello Hump Day!

I’m my private prayer and devotion time, early this morning, I came across Psalm 37, and the Lord impressed on me to share a deeper look, with you, concerning verses 3 – 6.

The scriptures say . . .

“Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. (4)Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. (5)Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act. (6)He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.” — Psalm 37:3-6 (ESV)

A Deeper Look . . .

Psalm 37:3 — Instead of envying the wicked, and wanting what they have, the righteous, (Jesus followers), should trust in The Lord God. This “trust” is accompanied by action — “do good,” (do God’s will), and be faithful to Him.

Psalm 37:4 — Obey The Lord, trust Him completely, and your reward will be that He will give you answers to your prayers, even your deepest desires. Father God is always looking for ways to bless His people.

Psalm 37:5 — Let The Lord lead you, and you commit yourself totally to Him and His ways. Doing so shows The Lord that you trust Him completely with His outcome to your situation, and His answers to your prayers.

Ps. 37:6 — The Lord will validate you, stamp you with His approval, be proud of you and openly claim you as His own, in the brightest part of the day (so everyone will hear and know that you are His).

Conclusion . . .

I hope that this “deeper look,” at Psalm 37:3-6, gives you a better understanding of our need to totally trust the Lord, and our Lord’s desire to totally take care of us and claim us as His own.

If people could just realize, that Jesus is for us, and not against us. That His desire is not to judge, condemn, or oppress us, but to save us, bless us and totally take care of us.

Jesus said, John 3:16-17 . . .

““For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. (17)For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.” (ESV)

In John 10:10, Jesus said . . .

“The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].” (AMP)

When we trust Jesus with our lives, and serve Him faithfully, His promises is to give us abundant life on earth and eternal life in heaven.

My Prayer is that You will Trust in the Lord and be Blessed!

Sincerely,
