Psalm 37:1-9
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against
the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and
wither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalth thou dwell
in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord;
and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Yesterday we
reflected on the evilness that is facing our nation today and compared it to
that of Jeremiah's time as he cried out for the people to repent just as God's
spokespersons are doing today. Our focus today is to provide encouragement to
all believers who see and weep for the spiritual apostasy that our country has
fallen into.
Let's say that conditions would be far worse if the church
had been raptured and conditions will be far worse when Christ takes His church
out of the earth. While we are still in the earth we must take delight in the
Lord because He is in control and nothing escapes His all seeing eye. Also,
take comfort in knowing that in God's own time He is going to bring an end to
this evilness. As stated in our scripture text evildoers will be cut down like
grass. God's Word is true and sure and as stated the righteous will "dwell
in the land."
What
are believers to do? We are going to keep praying
for the conditions of this nation, others and self; keep walking the ways of
God; keep His commandments; keep proclaiming His Word while calling for
repentance; keep being the light in a sin-darkness world while enjoy being in
His presence and fellowshipping with Him.
There is joy and delight in the Lord and
His protection is sure.
