It's All Good
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. 6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. 7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
Psalm 37:3-7 (ESV)
Psalm 37:3-7 (ESV)
Can I live as it it’s ‘all good’? Yes, if I live in God’s will, His ways and seek to understand His purpose for my life.
· Trust in God and live in obedience - 3 Trust in the LORD and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
· Delight in walking in His ways - 4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires.
· Pray about everything - 5 Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you. 6 He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. 7
· Relax and rest because He’s got it covered. - Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. Psalm 37:3-7 (NLT)
I love this Psalm because it gives me the actions I should take to live my life as if 'it's all good'. I can do so because I know that God is on the throne.
