On my way into work this morning I heard on Impact radio Psalm 37 v 7-9, so I read the Psalm. Great one!
"1 Don't 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 and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.
Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.
He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
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.
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"
"16 It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and rich.
For the strength of the wicked will be shattered, but the Lord takes care of the Godly.
Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent, and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever."
"37 Look at those who are honest and good, for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace.
But the rebellious will be destroyed; they have no future.
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, and they find shelter in him"
What an amazing Psalm. Here we are told that if we are Godly and look toward God he saves us and looks after us. However, if we are wicked and strive to do things for self gain and ourselves God will judge us and not look after us. He can be and should be our fortress, only though if we are Godly. Too often we see sportsmen and women, coaches and administrators striving for self gain and not Godliness. Judgement from God will prevail and we need to evaluate our motives on how we do and excute things. How do I deal with others and what am I looking to achieve through sport should be our point of decision.
God Bless
