The Written Word
As I begin to read Psalm 37, I believe that God is saying this chapter to us in these last and evil days we are living in to comfort, strengthen and to empower us in these days. As I read the 1’st and 2nd verses, it talks about our enemies and how God will deliver us from our enemies and the end of them. Many people define enemies as one that hurts us or do us wrong. BUT the definition of the word ENEMIES is; A person hostile to another; a foe; a military opponent or anything that injuries one. But we will talk about enemies a little later and we will find out how God protects us from them. Now there are powerful, anointed, life words that really brings out this chapter that the Lord is showing to me right now.
Let me point them out to you:
Now I believe that the Lord is saying to us that if we apply these blessed sayings in our lives and be obedience, we will see comfort and blessing from him. And we will not be fearful of the enemies which THE LORD is showing us directionally from these verses. Well the first powerful thing he is saying to us is FRET NOT which means don’t be vexed or irritated; don’t be worry. Fret also means to be agitated or disturbed. How many of you are disturbed and worry because of mean people or evil doers you know. Evilness is of the devil, we define it as harmful; wicked; causing or threatening sorrow; distress, or misfortune. Evil arises from bad character. It will lessen or destroy happiness or the welfare of another. It is sin.
Don’t try to get back at your enemies the first verse says. Don’t hate them back, because as the Lord is saying to us is that he will take care of us and we should leave our enemies in his hand, for their time is at hand according to the 2nd verse. Look at Matthew 5:43 Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, Do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you and persecute you.
Look what the Lord is saying to us in the 3rd verse. Trust in him in these end times. When your enemies are against you when you need to make decision or when you are sick or in need. I begin to read God’s word and especially all over the book of Psalms when it tells us to trust in the Lord scripture like Psalm 40:4.
Proverbs 22:19, Proverb 28:5, Psalm71:5, Psalm141:8, and 1Timothy 4:10. Trust means to assure reliance on Gods honesty, fairness friendship and faith. It also means to have confidence in; and to commit or believe. Well there is a lot to say on trust be I pray that you are seeing what the lord is showing you in these verses concerning trust. The blessing goes on in the 3rd verse which tells you God will take care of you and your needs.
In the 4th verse it says for us to delight thy self in the Lord. I pray that these powerful words that the Lord is saying to us that you get you a concordance and see more scriptures on these word it will bless you.
Delight means get very great satisfaction; lively pleasure; joy; also to be very greatly pleased. I tell you if you are obeying the word of God and prayer and the word you can be delightful. Let us continue to adore and give God praise in this last hour. No matter what you see going on throughout the world, lets still give God praise.
Commit thy way unto the Lord. How many of us is pledge to the Lord or connected or entrust to the Lord saints we have to be committed and trust in this verse is like brother and sister, because when you are committed to someone you have to trust them the 5, and 6 verses gives you the blessing if you commit.
Rest in the Lord many of you is so stressed out you are running here and dragging yourself every where, just rest in the Lord, let him handle the situation. Relax stand still. Turmoil and destruction is throughout the earth. Wait patiently for him. Well bless the Lord wait which means serving the Lord by doing his will and praising him. wait to watch, attend, to remain in readiness for action. But really that word wait means in this verse is to act as attendant or servant or to serve God.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. That is the reason we have to be very careful who we associate with. For evildoers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon the Lord they shall be safe and comfort. You know this chapter goes on to talk about our enemies, evildoer, and the wicked man.
But let us be obedience to his word and stay in the will of God by loving him and adoring him and pray for your enemies.
