Psalm 37: 1-9 in a gist tells us that we should not worry, fret, be angered, or be envious about evil men succeeding in their ways for like grass they will soon wither. Instead of feeling that way, we should keep trusting in the Lord so we will enjoy safe pasture and inherit the land.

This QT reminds me of the former president Marcos and how he had enriched himself and made himself above the law. I also thought of Hitler's scary power and how many he had ordered killed. Or of Michael Jackson and how he idolized himself.... But where are these people now? Marcos and Hitler are both dead and the only legacy they left behind is that of bad leadership. M. Jackson now is almost in hiding because of how he looks after all those surgeries and law suits.

God's word is soooo real. If we had exhausted our energy thinking how bad these men are, we stand to lose more. Sometimes we even spend time secretly thinking and wishing what will happen to them.... we even get frustrated.

The right attitude is to trust God and grow/delight in His word. Trust that God's justice will reign.. we may not always see it during our lifetime BUT it will prevail. In fact, in v13 it stated that the Lord just laughs at them for He knows their day is coming.

Just trust.

An "eagerness to maintain unbroken fellowship and oneness with God." Truly, in whatever situation we may find ourselves in, if we do not know which direction to take - turn to Jesus and He WILL give us rest. Surely He CAN but he definitely WILL, no exceptions. Isn't that a great promise?
