A friend of mine mentioned Psalm 37, verse 4 in our Bible Study last week. I had to immediately find the verse and read it for myself..."Delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart."
As I've thought about this verse for the past 3 days, this morning I decided to read all of Psalm 37. What amazing Psalm! As Christians, we are "in the world" but are not meant to be "of the world." God clearly outlines his plans for the people of this world and for His followers.
The wicked/people of this world who prey on the righteous and do whatever it takes to make money, earn status, and be envied by their peers will become no more. God uses those words, "they will perish", "they will be no more...you will look for them, but they will not be found." WOW!
But God specifically states that the righteous, His followers, will inherit the land. They will stumble, but not fall, because God's hand will hold them up! How often do we think we've fallen, when in reality, all we've done is stumble?! Is it Satan that is convincing us that we've fallen and we cannot get back up??? I believe so.
All the more reason to tuck into God daily and try to follow His word. The more we press into God, the "easier" it is to get through the tough times. Kind of makes you wonder why we stray, huh?!
