Scripture Passage of the Week:
Psalm 37:1-12
1 Do not be agitated by evildoers;do not envy those who do wrong. 2 For they wither quickly like grass and wilt like tender green plants. 3 Trust in the Lord and do what is good; dwell in the land and live securely. 4 Take delight in the Lord,and He will give you your heart's desires. 5 Commit your way to the Lord;trust in Him, and He will act, 6 making your righteousness shine like the dawn,your justice like the noonday. 7 Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for Him; do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way,by the man who carries out evil plans. 8 Refrain from anger and give up your rage;do not be agitated—it can only bring harm. 9 For evildoers will be destroyed,but those who put their hope in the Lord will inherit the land. 10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;though you look for him, he will not be there. 11 But the humble will inherit the land and will enjoy abundant prosperity. 12 The wicked schemes against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him. 13 The Lord laughs at him because He sees that his day is coming.

I just love this Psalm, Eric; it has a very calming effect on me. Perhaps a better word is "restful". I tend to get caught up in all the mundane hustle, tension and bustle of things, and this puts it all in perspective.
"Trust in Him, and HE will act." .. Wonderful!

Amen about trusting in Him.

This Sunday we were talking about the wheat and the tares, and how one day there will be judgment. I used to question God letting the evil ones prosper, and yet, now I see that their season of prospering is short if they will not bow down to God.
