'Commit thy way unto the LORD'

“Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.” Psalm 37:5-6

Instead of walking in the ways of evildoers, God urges us to commit our ways to Him and to trust in His grace and mercy given us for the sake of Jesus Christ and His innocent sufferings and death on the cross in our stead. We seek first to be a part of God’s kingdom through faith in Jesus and commit our ways to the LORD, trusting in Him to lead us and guide us through life (cf. Matt. 6:33). Though it may not seem so at the moment, He will cause our righteousness to shine and His judgment in our favor to be as bright as the noonday light.

Give me the wisdom to commit my way to You, O LORD, trusting in Christ Jesus, my Savior, and walking in Your paths. Amen.

[Scripture is quoted from the King James Version of the Bible.]

'Delight thyself also in the LORD'

“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalm 37:4

Our sinful nature pulls us in every direction, seeking happiness and fulfillment, but when we delight ourselves in the LORD God and His love and mercy toward us in Christ Jesus, our hearts find fulfillment and satisfaction. He gives us the comfort and joy of forgiveness and communion and fellowship with God our Maker through faith in Jesus and His redeeming work.

Grant that I delight myself in You, O LORD, that You might grant me the desires of my heart and give me true joy and fulfillment in You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

'Trust in the LORD and do good'

“Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.” Psalm 37:3

What do Christians do as the wickedness of the nations increases? There could be no better answer than to trust in the LORD God and do as He has commanded in His Word, to dwell in the land and continue to be faithful followers of Christ Jesus and His truth.

O God, keep me in Your truth and grant that I hold fast to Christ Jesus, trust in Him as my Savior, and live in accord with His Word. Amen.

Do not fret because of evildoers

“Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.” Psalm 37:1-2

While we may be tempted to fret or even envy those who carry out wicked schemes and walk contrary to God’s law, we need not fear or be envious of their apparent successes, for evildoers will be cut down like the grass and quickly wither and fade away like the green herb.

O LORD God, grant that we not fret or be envious when evil men prosper and appear successful but instead trust in You and Your Word and walk in Your ways. Amen.

Grant that we see and partake of Your salvation

“Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.” Psalm 90:16-17

Moses prays that the mighty working of God would be revealed to and seen by those who fear the LORD, that they would partake of the beautiful blessings of the LORD offered and given to those who trust in Him for mercy and forgiveness in the Son and His atoning sacrifice on the cross for the sins of the world. And Moses prays for the blessing of the LORD upon our service to Him — upon our proclaiming of the saving Gospel of forgiveness and life in Christ Jesus.

Open up our eyes, O Lord, to see the truth of Your Word that we might repent of our sins and partake of the salvation You have provided for us in the Son. And send Your Holy Spirit that others, too, might hear and believe the saving Gospel. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
