Prayer Requests 1-21-15

It’s Wednesday, so don’t forget to pray for the folks in the Gambia.

Anyone else?

Psalm 37:1-11

¹Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

One thought on “Prayer Requests 1-21-15”

  1. Thank you for posting these psalms, AJ. Psalm 37 verse 5 was my confirmation passage, and it is good to be reminded of it. But looking at the context is also important, and today I am noticing all the “in the Lord”s in these verses.

    “Trust…delight…rest”…in the Lord, in addition to committing my way unto the Lord. Good words to ponder regularly…it’s not a one-time deal, this trusting, delighting, resting and committing. It’s an ongoing, day-by-day, even moment-by-moment (perhaps?) process, I think.

    Many rich treasures to ponder in the Psalms.
