A Promise of Future Blessing. Psalm 37 & 38

 

Psalm 37 – A Promise of Future Blessing

 

The prosperity of evil doers troubled David a great deal. It was in those days that man could look around and see the ungodly prosper. In God’s timing He will deal with the wicked. Trust in the Lord, and He will take care of you. He has already blessed you with spiritual blessings, and He will shower on you all the spiritual blessings you can contain. Let us delight ourselves in the Lord.

God loves you, He wants to save you, but you have to commit your way to Him.

God will see to it that those who wait upon the Lord will one day inherit the earth. The wicked are going to be cut off.

The steps of a good man are established by the Lord on a foundation that is the rock- and the Rock is Christ.

The “perfect man” is one who is perfect toward God in that he trusts God and rests upon His salvation. The end of the upright man is peace, God will see to it.

 

Psalm 38 Physical Disease

 

David in deep distress, prays that God will not judge him in anger.

David suffered from sickness because of his sin. He carried a heavy burden and was crushed under it. He was ready to quit. Sin comes as a friend to entice you and then becomes a master to enslave you.

God loves us too much to let us sin and get away with it. If you disobey, he will first rebuke you. Then come closer and put His hand upon you to let you know He is displeased.

You and I cannot carry our burdens, and we especially cannot carry the burden of sin. We must give that burden to God.

Sin puts a wall between you and those who can help you, but it builds a bridge between you and those who want to exploit you and hurt you.

The only hope is to confess and cry out to God for mercy. He promises to forgive. So, claim that promise.

Please read the chapter listed so that you can understand God’s Word better.
