Psalms 37:1-40

37:3 | Trust in God grows when a believer’s life and soul feed on His faithfulness in times past.

37:5 | Commit means to take the whole of one’s life and give it to God (Prov. 16:3). The NT counterpart is to cast all care on Him (1 Pet. 5:7).

37:8 | The Hebrew word translated fret is charah, which speaks of “growing warm and blazing up.” To fret or worry is to be concerned with things over which one has no control or ability to change. That kind of worry, according to Scripture, is sin.

37:11 | Jesus quoted this verse in the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5:5).

37:18 | This verse could be interpreted several ways: God knows every situation and takes care of His children; God knows the time of every person’s death and will preserve the faithful until that time; or God knows that each person’s days on earth are but a breath when compared to eternity.
