Hello, I am posting once again. Not bad for 5 days later. Lets look at Ps. 37:5-9 (NIV) today.” Commit your way to the Lord; trust him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret- it leads only to evil. For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.”

If you go through this section of scripture there are key words or phrases to pay attention to. Like commit, trust, be still, wait patiently and refrain. Notice that these are some of the hardest things to do. They require self- control. Then you will only fully succeed if you have a relationship with Jesus. Try as you might, but eventually the enemy will overcome you and lead you off the narrow path.

With a relationship with Him you will have hope. This hope will allow you to receive the promise. That is to inherit the land. When they use words like “will” its a statement not a wish. So, read your Bible. Pray by yourself and with others. Then be sure to get to church. we need the fellowship with the “body.”

Be blessed, Ken
