Outline: Understanding Psalm 37:1-5 1 Fret 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. - Psalm 37:1-5 (KJV) Do not fret because of evildoers. Trust in the Lord and do good. Delight in the Lord. Commit your way to the Lord. Practical Application: As believers, we must learn to focus on God's promises rather than the prosperity of evildoers. By trusting in the Lord and committing our ways to Him, we can experience His provision and peace. Delighting in the Lord ensures that our desires align with His will, bringing fulfillment and joy into our lives. The Consequences of Evil and the Rewards of Righteousness 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. - Psalm 37:6-9 (KJV) God will bring forth your righteousness. Rest in the Lord and wait patiently. Evildoers will be cut off. Those who wait on the Lord will inherit the earth. Practical Application: We must rest in the assurance that God sees and rewards righteousness. Patience and trust in God's timing are crucial.

The Security of the Righteous 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. - Psalm 37:10-11 (KJV) The wicked will not last. The meek shall inherit the earth. The righteous will delight in peace. Practical Application: The security of the righteous is found in God's promises. Even when wickedness seems to prevail, it is temporary. By embracing meekness and humility, believers can look forward to inheriting the earth and enjoying lasting peace. This encourages us to adopt a humble and peaceful attitude.

Practical Application: God's justice ensures that the upright will be provided for and protected. Our inheritance in Christ is eternal, and we can face difficult times with confidence, knowing that God will sustain us. This reassures us of God's continual provision and care.
