Ps. 36 - The faithfulness of God and the sinfulness of humanity
Ps. 37 - How do you live in the midst of wicked people? The righteous is
contrasted to
the wicked.
Ps. 38 - A penitential Psalm - God forgives our sin and gives us hope.
Ps. 39 - Life is frail and brief. "Hear my pray, O Lord, listen to my cry
for help."
What can we learn from these verses?
1. God delays the punishment of the wicked, but it will come.
2. God is faithful and just.
3. Never envy evil people or desire what they have. It will fade and
vanish. Your
treasure is in heaven.
4. A person's character is revealed by the way they handle money. How do
you acquire your
money? How do you spend it?
5. Life is brief. Don't spend so much time preparing for your life on
earth that you
fail to plan for your eternity. God has a wonderful retirement plan for
you with
many benefits!
Prayer: God, help me to take my eyes off of the material things of the
world and to focus
on you. Help me to remember that I am only passing through this world on a
journey. My
real home is with you. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
