Friday, July 1st - Psalm 37

Good Morning from Camdenton, Missouri!

Well, we got in last night and it was still around 92 degrees.  It is already in the 80's this morning and suppose to hit 100 this afternoon with a heat index of 115 to 120!  Guess we will be staying in or jumping in the Lake alot!  :o)

Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Psalm 37: Contrasts righteous and wicked people.  Even when it seems like the wicked have it all, stay true.  Ultimately, God's people "win".

Wow!  This Psalm is packed full of promises and encouragement for us!  Let's take a look at a few of the verses, starting with verse 4: "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart."  He has our best interest in mind and will bless us.  He created us and knows us inside and out and knows our spiritual desires and longings.  I think this verse talks to spiritual desires as well as physical.  What do you think?  My spiritual desire to become more like Him each day is both spiritual and physical - as I talk the talk and walk the walk!
Look at verse 7: "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;".  It is so hard sometimes to wait, let alone patiently!  Didn't we discuss this in James?  However, we know that if we wait patiently, great things come to be!  HE is there for us - always!  "Though we stumble we will not fall, for the Lord upholds us with his hand." (vs 24)
Take a look at verses 3-8, 11, 16-19, 23-24, 28-31, 34a, 39-40.  Are you encouraged?  I hope so!  We have such an awesome Heavenly Father that loves us and takes care of us every step of the way and every minute of the day!  Lean on Him - Trust Him - Love Him!

We still have to do our part and serve our risen Savior. Trust - Dwell - Commit - Be still - Refrain - Turn - Wait - Consider - Trust - these are all action words! We need to be in His Word daily, talk to Him about everything, share His Good News (Gospel) and have a relationship with Him! Let's dig in and go deeper!


I hope you have a great day on this first day of July! Enjoy yourselves and know that HE is watching over you and loves you with an unconditional love!

Love and prayers,
