Psalm 37:1-8
(New Living Translation)
A psalm of David.
1 Don’t worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong.
2 For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither.
3 Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
4 Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart’s desires.
4 Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart’s desires.
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.
6 He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
7 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.
8 Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper — it only leads to harm.

ReplyDelete5 Commit your way to the LORD.. - total surrender of ourselves to God.. Everything. All we have, all of who we are and who we have become.. And we'll see and experience His promises for us.

-it's a reality check for my life...and i learned a lot... esp in v.8 ...it's really true. :D
Christine Carla
V.5 is the first one that strike me.. Second is v.8
My life before.. I can say.. It was full of anger, and questions.. Anger to God, anger to my parents.. Anger to the world.. But He never gave up on me. And based on what i've experienced in my life, anger really causes harm to our lives...
Hans Jason
i was that person then before...and that's why a lot of people may not like me, the way i am. :))
trust in the Lord...always...
take delight in the Lord...sometimes...i stumble on this...still with my humanity...sometimes i go on my own way..
Christine Carla
I am blessed to have had a family, realtives and loved ones, that are greatly connected to God.. Because in a way, even though i took the way where i thought it's good for me, and didn't follow the right path.. Still they were able to keep me on theright track.. Along the way, i could say that it's really hard.. Too difficult for me to bear.. But looking back, i can sometimes ask myself.. How was i able to surpass those? Well now.. I know the answer.

we know who our real Master is...and everything that we did,do and be doing are all for our Master. He knows everything that we need. By and by...He will lift us up and reward us...
i sometimes envy those people...who easily got rich...and i knew some schemes they do...last yr...when i got tangled and joined in a "get-rich-easily" business...wow... lying to clients...using them...swindling *the worst part of it* ...i get out of those wicked schemes...and did it on a "right" way...there i knew...doing the "right way" won't take me there easily. :))
Hans Jason
me too...im blessed being taught to do the right way...on the right path with Him...though at times, i follow my way...but somehow...He still guide me through the right path...with my family and friends as His instruments. :)
Christine Carla
ReplyDeleteLet's choose the narrow one, the narrow path.. bcoz that is where it is gonna be worth it..
Hans Jason
and thought it's not easy to be trekking that path...but we know, it's the way to LIFE.
Christine Carla
Yes.. Our way to The Father.
Hans Jason
-Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.-
...though the oceans rise and thunders roar...i will soar with You above the storm. Father, You are King, over the flood... i will be STILL know You are God.
We thank You, Lord.
Christine Carla
Amen! ♥
It also helps when we are always there for one another, always reminding each other to be STILL and know that He is God..
Hans Jason
yup! :)
being accountable also to each other.
Christine Carla
This reminds us, everyone is our responsibility.
And yeah, i just remembered, let's take time to pray for our brothers and sisters who are affected by the typhoon in Luzon. My heart was breaking this morning upon hearing the news..
Lord, be with everyone. :(
Hans Jason
yup... :)
hmmm...as of 7pm today...10 people perished and some others are injured.
Christine Carla
So is that the latest news?
I hope that all would be well there in the Phils..
Hans Jason
it maybe more now...they are still assessing the countryside.
Christine Carla
Oh ok..
And oh, thanks for the sharing of thoughts and reflections. Another night of learning more about Him.
Thank You Lord.
Hans Jason
Thank You, Lord!
correct! we should not begrudge rich or famous people, especially if we know that they have done evil to achieve their wealth or fame .. we should be satisfied with what the Lord has given us. it's really hard sometimes, but it is the right thing to do. We need to pray always and ask for His guidance =)
ReplyDeleteChristine: thanks for that Echie.. May he give us the strength to endure and wisdom to know what is right from wrong. God bless us always.
ReplyDeleteAmen Echie!
ReplyDeleteI just love this saying. :D
