Desire

I will return to this post when I feel inspired.

A blog will soon appear in this space covering my notes and reactions to the Beth Moore simulcast that I attended this past weekend.


The entire 2 day event covered Psalm 37. I found the topic of this event very interesting because it is this passage in particular I decided to not think about anymore. It may be true for some people, but not me. This used to be one of my favorite verses, but then I wasn't sure I could believe this any longer.


Do not fret because of evil men

or be envious of those who do wrong;

for like the grass they will soon wither,

like green plants they will soon die away.

Trust in the LORD and do good;

dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

Delight yourself in the LORD

and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the LORD;

trust in 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.
