A lot of "food"...

I was reading Psalm 37 this morning & wanted to share some things from it. It's a long psalm so I am not going to type it all out now but I would encourage you to read the entire psalm sometime. It has a lot in it.

"Do not worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong.
For like grass, they soon fade away.
Like spring flowers, they soon wither.
Trust in the Lord & do good.
Then you will live safely in the land & prosper.
Take delight in the Lord, & he will give you your heart's desires.
Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust him & he will help you.
He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
& the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
Be still in the presence of the Lord,
& wait patiently for him to act.
Do not worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.
Stop being angry! Turn from your rage!
Do not lose your temper-it only leads to harm.
For the wicked will be destroyed,
but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land."
Psalm 37:1-9

"It is better to be godly & have little than to be evil & rich."
verse 16

"The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
He delights in every detail of their lives.
Though they stumble, they will never fall,
for the Lord holds them by the hand." verses 23-24

"Turn from evil & do good, & you will live in the land forever.
For the Lord loves justice, & he will never abandon the godly." verses 27-28

"The godly offer good counsel; they teach right from wrong.
They have made God's law their own, so they will never slip from his path." verses 30-31

"Put your hope in the Lord.
Travel steadily along his path.
He will honor you by giving you the land.
You will see the wicked destroyed." verse 34

"The Lord rescues the godly;
he is their fortress in times of trouble.
The Lord helps them, rescuing them from the wicked.
He saves them, & they find shelter in him." verses 39-40
