Discuss Psalms 37 Page 16

God is on our side so why should we fret, if we trust him, he will come through for us.

The word of God is the truth.

This Psalms has given me so much strength and assurance during times of trials and times of peace. It quiets my racing mind when the day’s stresses want to take hold. It keeps me focused knowing that The Lord will carry all the burdens that I cannot handle. When I find myself worrying about things I have no control over, this chapter brings me peace of mind.

@Yolanda,
It’s truly sad to hear about your circumstances, but those are open attacks from the devil, just like Job had them.
It truly hurts, but that’s where we need to show more love for God and seek his face. The Lord Jesus is a strong tower, the righteous run to that tower and are safe.
All in life shall pass away, in a way or the other. Only God is permanent.
Please, put your trust in God, not in things; they fade away, nor in men; they pass away.
Just like Job did, “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart”, Psalms 37:4. Go about it with simplicity of heart, and look at the salvation of the Lord. Chances are still many, Just Trust and Obey.
God bless you and keep you in His loving arms.

“Fret not thyself..” occurs three times in this Psalm. Fret not, but trust God, and “mark the perfect man”: keep your own mind open. God is Good. And Man is God's idea, God's expression. “Fret not thyself” about anything else. All is well.

Proverbs 5 starts with a great and strong admonition that we should give, so to speak, committed and concentrated attention to the Word of God- and that refers to His Wisdom ( Psalms 37:4 John 15:7). But why such recommendation? It is because God‘s love is always instructional, corrective, inspiring; and as matter of fact encouraging. And in this Proverbs 5;1, Solomon, through the Wisdom of God, places great emphasis on obedience, and that is with regard to, giving attention to God’s Word. You see, the truth; God's Word, is filled with His love, truth, graciousness, peace, mercy and loving kindness. And when we give attention and plenty of time to the dictates of the Word of God, gossips, rumours, backbiting, innuendos and lies that others dish out won’t affect us. John 1:12, You see, he that loves the LORD and daily feeds and honour His Word, is hidden in Christ who is hidden in God. It is a mystery and yet it is real. Therefore, Proverbs 5 contains so much, as it encourages towards righteousness, godliness and holiness; and also warns individual Christians against immorality. When the truth of God Word is honoured, blessings become the norm ( 1 John 5:4). In other words it becomes a daily occurrence in the lives of the practitioners of the dictates of the Holy Writ, the Word of God. And with that comes genuine prosperity. It therefore connotes that the warnings against immorality are highly important for the true believer, so that the substances and such things that he carries, does not depart and flee into others habitation. And that is because the things of the Holy Spirit are not compatible with the arm of the flesh. Therefore, the reason for such strong warning and admonition, the implication of this, is that we give unwavering attention to the Word of God, and to really reflect on it and not on immorality. The more attention and time we give to meditating on the Word of God, the more intimate we become with the Holy Spirit; and the more the blessing and revelation He will pour upon us. In fact because the Kingdom of God is already inside whoever truly loves and believes God and His Word through the person of Jesus Christ, then investing committed attention to His Word and the practice of it cannot but result in outpouring of the blessings and favours of the Almighty God upon such individuals, ( Matthew 6:10; Luke 17:21, Romans 6:16). God has placed ministry gifts within the Body of Christ that we can learn from- and that is beside personal study of His Word. And therefore, it is wise to take advantage of such favours, and ministrations. And when the right type of attitude is put in place in that direction, that would result in practical righteousness, as we conduct ourselves, humbly and genuinely in line with the Word of God. In Deuteronomy 28:14, it talks about the blessings of obedience- while the other part of it talks about the curse of disobedience. When you read through it you cannot but marvel no matter who you are. And therefore the importance of taking on board God's dictates saturates and fills our being and then puts it in our mouths, as we conduct our lives in righteousness. We also declare it toward sanctification and purification, and that is because we are the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ. However, we must never forget that, all these are only for whosoever trusts and obeys; for you can't be wiser that your belief system. Hence the importance and relevance of genuine and committed obedience towards the dictates of the Holy Writ; for it has to be to you according to THE level of your dependency on God. That means devotion, humility and consecration.

This psalm was given to me by the Lord several years ago, and he sent it to me 3 times by 3 different people. There are real life lessons I have experienced in the truth of these verses. I could sum up my life in the words of this Psalm.

Psalms 37:36 has a special meaning to me, it says Yet he passed away, and, lo he was not: yea I sought him, but he could not be found.

God's wisdom has Fatherly instructions, corrections, admonitions, information and guidance in them. As a matter of divine fact, His Wisdom originates from a heart of love, mercy, and compassion that are beyond human comprehension. Therefore, they are meant to stir you and I, as it were, into the favours and strength of God. And because God is God, and there is none compared to Him, it means that He can't lie. Hence, it is worthwhile and wise to give concentrated attention to His Word. God's Word is His Wisdom and His wisdom are His dictates, and they are meant for the good of whoever believes ( 2 Corinthians 12:9; Hebrews 4:16). Truthfully speaking, the fact that God does not do evil, but that He only does what is good and right, should encourage whoever cares to listen, to plunge into His truths, and also into His wisdom- and that must be through Jesus Christ, and also through the Holy Spirit, the Eternal Spirit ( 1 Corinthians 5:10; 2 Corinthians 3:5). The nuggets of truths, in this Proverbs 4, like others, are godlike precepts and instructions that are incomparable, good and right for the human soul, and for the spirit man, the hidden man of the heart, - and that mainly refers to the recreated human spirit. They are facets of biblical truths that are encouraging and also excellent for the godly type of life that many are craving and thirsting for ( Psalms 1:1-3, Psalms 37:4; Ephesians 1:17). Interestingly, depending perhaps on what background, a Christian comes from, the fact is that for the really genuine and committed type of Christian, a time will or must come that he will come into the knowledge that this God of Israel, the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ deserves to be magnified, glorified and worshipped; for there is none like Him ( John 4:23; 1 Peter 1:25). Thus, the place of wisdom, in the lives of whoever desires and dares to love and honour the Living God ( John 1:12; 3:16). He is, all that matters- and when you and I key into His love and faithfulness, He will do great wonders through us to the glory of His name. In view of these and many other things vis a vis the Word of God, wisdom dictates that we give ourselves committedly unto the LORD, and to His Word ( Matthew 6:33,34). There are challenges upon challenges that confront us, as individuals, and that is why, these truths and instructions, as contained in Proverbs, and throughout the pages of the Holy Writ, demand that we be faithfully committed to them. Remember, we have been accepted, into the family of the Beloved, and that refers to Jesus Christ ( John 17:3; Romans 8: 15; Ephesians 2:18; Galatians 4:16,1; Hebrews 9:14; 1 John 4:3; 5:13). And that is where the grace of God comes on board; His grace is more than sufficient ( 1 Corinthians 15:10; 2 Corinthians 3:5; 2 Corinthians 12:9). God has abilities no matter what task or assignment He has called you and I for. When you commit yourself to God's dictates and function in line with them, Angels will go on assignment for you ( John 15:7; James 4:16.). There are levels and degrees of encounters with God, that we can't get into except through daily obedience and practical submission to the Word of God. In fact there is nothing, as far as I know that can surpass what God has given. He has given Jesus Christ, who is referred to biblically, as the Wisdom of God, - and that is for the salvation and redemption of humanity. And when you belong to Him through the agency of the new birth, you automatically become joint heirs with Him. And with that you are sorted if you know how to walk or function in love, and then take advantage of what He has given through Christ Jesus, the Saviour of the World. The essence of these is that we should give attention to wisdom, embrace it, reflect upon it, and practice it. God's instructions and precepts demands heartfelt obedience ( Psalm 119:6; John 14:15; John 15:120; 1 Corinthians 7:19; 1 Peter 1:25; 1 John 5:3). It says whatever you do in word and deed, do it heartily as unto the LORD. Hence, in the things of the Spirit, and that refers to the Holy Spirit, high level of commitment should be the norm, and that is because God cannot lie, - and His Word is forever infallible ( John 1:1-14; Hebrews 4). Truly, God is forever trustworthy.

I believe with all my heart that God is great and I can do all things if I put my trust in him.

If your delight is in pleasing God, then your desires conform to HIM, and then His desires become your desires. Your selfish desires are replaced with Godly desires.

Please pray for me, I am going through difficult storms. I trust that JESUS will guide me and deliver me through these valleys. I have failed the LORD many times, he has never failed me...

Psalm 37:5 tells us commit unto the Lord, and also trust in him, and He shall bring it to pass.....I rooted this verse in my heart....and GOD gave me my baby boy....it came to pass for me and it will come to pass for you on whatever you are asking......Jesus..Jesus..Jesus.

Reading this scripture and the comments about it has truly blessed my soul today. You see, I am about to lose my home because of a scam. I know that I have to trust that God will deliver me out of this, and also His will shall be done. Pray for me and my family, that God will have mercy on us. God bless you.

We are to be encouraged and know that no matter what is happening around us or to us, God is faithful and just. He will not leave us nor forsake us. He will take care of us and always supply all our needs. All we need to do is trust in God and He will fight the battle for us and give victory.

It is an assurance that God is in control of all situations. We should not be afraid of wicked strategies against us. He is telling us to be still in storm because he is God the almighty.

I believe it

This Psalms has bought he threw some hardtimes in my life losing my love ones and friends this Psalms strenten my life tell I became a true believer in Christ.

it help me understand what i was going throw at that point intime, love this psalms

We are reminded nevertheless that there is reward for carrying the righteousness of God in this temple (body)Though we may seem as nothing ,we are assured that He who is in us has all Goodies in this world for us.And his assurance is as real as the daybreak.

this chapter may refer to both the wicked and the upright in Christ. The Lord Jesus is saying not to be jealous over what the wicked has, because thier day will come when they will have not more than what the broke and saved people have. The wicked are in power RIGHT NOW, all over the world, they have all the wealth. they claim to be doing right by mans standards but, what about God's? they have so much but give very little to those in need, while theupright in Christ have very little to share but will give all that they have. There will come a time when Gods people will not be in want and have plenty to share and will have to share it with the wecked to keep them from dying, starving, loosing homes, whatever the case may be.

Psalms 37 is a roadmap thru.....we are reminded to stay focused despite what we see, here and experience, as long as we trust, believe, delight and rest in the will way and word of God, although we fall, He will not leave us, he has his hands on us....God reassures us!

I feel it means, the things that we do to please the Lord and we do it with gladness and joy serving Him, He will in turn provide us with what we need and sometimes what we want. I say sometimes because we don't always need some of the things we want.

I believe the word...

I believe the Scripture speaks to the man who on his journey makes sound decision and judgement when facing life's challenges will then in turn bring delight to the Lord who in turn will take him up with Him. It is speaking to the heart of man by simply saying: do good and what's right and it will pay off

psalms 37 lets us know that the Lord is there for us and he say in veres19 they shall not be ashamed in evil time and in the day of famine they shall be satisfied.

This psalm contrasts the righteous with the wicked. It speaks of how God blesses the righteous and judges the wicked. It teaches us that the righteous will live forever and inherit the earth while the wicked will be destroyed. Indeed, the righteous excels the wicked as light excels darkness.

My loved one loved me with deceitfulness. My friend hated me secretly as well. My co-workers ate at my flesh. My boss accused me of wrong doing. I was homeless. My son was prodigal. My character was assonated. My integrity compromised...I mourned...I died...so He could live...in me.

yes, if we make God happy by following and obeying his commandments and principles he will also make us happy.

For I am A living exsample to this scripture.Over AND over God has been there for me.To many to write now.BUT in a short vertion on one.The LORD told me to go fish for food.I came back home with enoff fish to last till my next pay check a week away.One I had no money for bait,two God told me to throw the line out move it three feet in and let it sit on the bottom.And in less then one hour I went home with eight good size fish.It took me longer to clean them then to catch them.
