Stop Being Angry! Turn From Your Rage! Do Not Lose Your Temper --- It Only Leads To Harm.

Stop Being Angry! Turn From Your Rage!
Do Not
Lose Your Temper --- It Only Leads To Harm.
Scripture
Psalm 37
7 Be still in the presence of the Lord,
and wait patiently for him to act.
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper
or fret about their wicked schemes.

8 Stop being angry!
Turn from your rage!
Do not lose your temper—
it only leads to harm.

9 For the wicked will be destroyed,
but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.

10 Soon the wicked will disappear.
Though you look for them, they will be gone.

Observation

How should Christians respond to the wicked? Sometimes we act like God, our Heavenly Father doesn't exist. Trust me. He sees the evil. He sees the wicked.
And in Psalm 37 He lets us know that He sees it and He will take care of it! So … Don't lose your temper – it only leads to harm.
Psalm 37 This is a good word for all of us right now. We are living in a nation and in a world where hate seems to be boiling over!
David was surrounded by evil with King Saul tried over and over again to kill him. David probably wrote most of the Psalms while he was hiding from King Saul. Yet he had incredible faith in his God!
You and I should too!
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.
For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.
Application
I will be still in the presence of the Lord, and I will wait patiently for Him to act. How about you?


Prayer

Heavenly Father, I put my trust in You. You see everything that is going on in our country and in our world. You know the hearts of all of those involved in all of this turmoil. Weed out the wicked. Deal with them. I will not worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. I will trust in You Lord. I will be still in Your presence.
