Psalm 37

Psalm 36 and 37 share many commonalities. Evil will not overcome good. The Word of God says that we should wait upon the Lord and commit our ways to Him, and that we should not envy others who do wrong. How then can we stand firm and not be influenced?

The answer is to "delight yourself in the Lord" (Psalm 37:4), which requires us to commit our lives totally to God so that we can truly enjoy a God-centred lifestyle. In delighting the Lord, God promises us that He will uphold us when we stumble in our ways. Now this is a risk-free lifetime investment which we know will yield much fruit in time to come.
