Don’t worry about the wicked
or envy those who do wrong.
2 For like grass, they soon fade away.
Like spring flowers, they soon wither.
3 Trust in the Lord and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
4 Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you your heart’s desires. Psalm 37:1-4
What do you think God means when He says “you will live safely in the land and prosper?”
Well, I can testify that God has kept me safe, and prospered me, in a “land” where wickedness and ungodliness have dwelt very close to me for 19 1/2 years. I may have often felt unnerved, even frightened–but no actual harm has come to me; and He has provided for all my needs, and prospered my faith especially. I wish I could tell you that it’s because I’ve always kept my eyes on the Lord–but that’s not accurate–and even if I’d managed that, then I might take the credit, when all the glory goes to our Faithful God 🙂
Amen! This is an awesome part of your testimony Stella being rescued in the midst of trouble!
God is faithful!!
