"FRET not thyself because of evildoers, neither be 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 shalt 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.
Commit thy way unto the LORD;
trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,
and thy judgment as the noonday."
Psalm 37:1-6
The 37th Chapter of the Book of Psalm talks about the true state of the wicked. Although David was troubled by the prosperity of the unrighteous, he knew by faith that their undeserved bounty would be cut off. His underlying belief is that God will intervene in His time. Then the temporary reversal of fortunes will be set right and the righteous shall inherit the earth.
David should be an influence on us today. We should never envy evil people. Sometimes, it is hard not to envy those who are extremely popular or excessively rich because we reside in a corrupt world. But we must remember, no matter how much others have, it will fade and vanish like grass that withers and dies. Those who follow God however, live differently from the wicked,
and in the end, will have abundant treasure in heaven to last for an eternity. What an unbeliever gets in his lifetime will only last a lifetime.
David calls us to take delight in the Lord and to commit ourselves to Him. He will fulfill our every need while we are here on this earth.
Commit yourself ~ Entrust all you have to Him to control and to guide you. He can better take care of us than we ever could!
May you have a wonderfully blessed day, counting your blessings and sharing the Good News of Jesus with everyone today!
