Reading along with us in Psalm 31-40? Here’s today’s reading:

be not envious of wrongdoers!
2 For they will soon fade like the grass

4 Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as the noonday.
7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,

Be still
This is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. So full of sound advice in confronting a world that is evil and precious, precious promises if we will only entrust ourselves to God. God is always higher and better and that’s why He can always overcome evil when and how He sees fit and therefore we do not need to resort to our devices of fear, anger or retaliation. Trust, delight, commit and be still are good words to use in considering our response to God. May that be true of all of us!
