Wonderful Wednesday: Holy Week 2013
I hope your Holy Week 2013 is going Great!
Psalm 37:1-6
1 Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; 2for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. 4Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: 6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.
Hey, Folks…the thought I want to share today is in verse 4: “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
There is reciprocity there, everyone. If we take delight in him, he will take delight in us.
I just read this today, and since it is almost the next Wednesday, it is current for me. I needed this today to make sure I consider the delight I need to take in the Lord, the trust I need to put in the Lord, and to put away all of the other “fret[s]… envious [thoughts]…and…trust in him.” You are right; there is reciprocity in the action of taking and receiving delight. I need to remember that.
Bless you, Claire. I hope your week back to school is going well. Love, Haven
