Meditation from Psalm 37

Psalms 37:16 A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the riches of many wicked. Psalms 37:18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. Psalms 37:21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. Psalms 37:22 For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and [they that be] cursed of him shall be cut off. Psalms 37:23-25 The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand. 25 I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. Psalms 37:37 Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the end of [that] man [is] peace. Psalms 37:39-40 39 But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the [...]

Lion-Hearted Courage

Courage is contagious; it begets courage. Cowardice is equally contagious; it begets cowardice. Caleb’s testimony in Joshua 14:8 speaks of this. Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God. The cowardly testimony of the 10 spies melted the heart of the people. Caleb however along with Joshua maintained a tenacious trust which resulted in strength of heart-courage. If we trust God and His word we will have strength of heart. If we live in unbelief and listen to the culture or the crowd our heart will melt. Hushai gave counsel to Absalom about not pursuing after King David. He spoke of men who were valiant and had hearts of lions (II Samuel 17:10). We need men who will have hearts of lions in these days. We need men who are valiant for truth (Jeremiah 9:3). We need men who will not let their heart melt at the slightest noise [...]

Saviour or Self Esteem

1 Corinthians 15:9-10 9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which [was bestowed] upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. In our minds the Apostle Paul would be considered one of the greatest apostles. A man who had such a dramatic conversion to Christ, who wrote over 13 NT epistles, who served the Lord so faithfully. Yet in Paul’s mind we see his thoughts about himself. He had a proper understanding of the grace of God. He knew the grace of the Lord to be exceeding abundant. Grace: God’s Riches at Christ’s Expense. Grace gives us a proper view of ourselves, our sin, others, and especially our mighty and merciful God. Paul believed [...]
