Psalm 37 is another good encouragement and exhortation to US in OUR time! Look at verses 1-2:
1 Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness (that which is not upright or in right standing with God) 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
Refuse to be unsettled by what is happening in the world around you! KNOW that God knew what was going to happen before it ever started! Expose the evil but refuse the fear of it! Remember, GOD has not given you that fear (2 Timothy 1:7)! Fear is a spirit sent from satan to undermine your faith and get you to stop standing on the Word of God! THEY shall soon be cut down, but YOU can affect change in your surroundings by using your authority in the Name of Jesus! That's why we are still here! Soon and very soon the Church of Jesus Christ is going to be taken out of here so that the evil that is being held back can fully operate. THEN the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible will prove to every living thing that HE alone is GOD! HALLELUJAH! In the meantime, let's be DOERS of verses 3-6:
3 Trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and feed surely on His faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed. 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.5 Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass. 6 And He will make your uprightness and right standing with God go forth as the light, and your justice and right as [the shining sun of] the noonday.
AMEN! Delight in HIM so that HE can give you desires that HE will fulfill as you continue to keep Him as your #1 priority! God delights in YOU! Look at Zephaniah 3:17:
17 The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing.
Let's encourage each other to go deeper into the things of God so that we can be continually aware of His indwelling presence, and so that we can DO what He has called us to do, bringing glory to His Name! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Young and Free with "Close":
Shalom in Him!
