Psalms 37

Psalms 37 is my favorite scripture in The Bible.

I like it because it gives me strength and reminds me what it is that I’m working towards.

 It starts by saying, “Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong. For like plants, they will wither. Like green grass, they will soon die away.” 

That helps me remember that even though sometimes when people think they got the best of me, I can hold on to the knowledge that their season is only temporary and karma always comes around. It also teaches me to not always admire those who seem to have it all because you never know what is in their heart.

Then it says “Trust in the Lord and do what is right.”

That helps me remember that when it seems everyone else around me is doing wrong, it is still my responsibility to do the right thing and honor God. Even when it’s hard. Not saying that I always do the best job at it :) But this part also says to trust God. So I trust God to forgive me when I fall short, just as I try to forgive others. Furthermore, this verse helps me remember that when things seems void of hope, God is still in control and will use those situations to show just how glorious He is.

Now this last part is my absolute favorite. It says “…and He will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, and the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.” 

That helps me to remember that one day, my hard work will pay off and God will recognize what I have done or tried to do to bring honor to His kingdom. That alone is my motivation to keep on going when I want to quit-and those days are many. 

So when you get a chance, I encourage you to read it. Download The Bible App on your phone though YouVersion or iTunes. It can help you like it has me. I guarantee it.
