1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and
[/align]verily thou shalt be fed.
4Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
[/align]6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. Psalm 37:1-9 KJV.
Since lasr October i have been having some serious health problems..my old ticker is going bad, i have had cancer for seven years and my kidneys are down to 51% productive..so to be perfectly honest with you I got discouraged and was having one big pity party..I would look around and see others living it up, drinking ,dope and all that goes with it and i wondered, why God are they prospering in wealth, good health and having the time of their life..then i remembered these verses in Psalm 37.my friends don' fret about what other lifestle people might have and don't wish for their rewards for one day it will all be gone and no doubt many will spend erernity in hell..so let me encourage you, trust in the LORD and He will take care of you..I like what Proverbs says,
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
and don't listen to what other people try to draw you into but trust in Him and He will supply all your needs..when Paul prayed three times for help in his infirmity, the Lord said "My grace is sufficient for thee.for my strength is made perfect in weakness."oh yes my dear friends, here is coming a day when we who have trusted Him as our Lord and Saviour, will meet him face to face in hat wonderful place He has prepared for us, there to spend eternity with him and our loved ones who have gone on before..and i praise God that He has given everyone that opportunity because He said "Whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." no matter what you have done in life, He will save you. you notice in verse seven He says "rest in the Lord and wait on him to finish his plan..He says over in Matthew," Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest..yes, if you are carrying a heavy burden He will give you rest, if you are loaded down with the cares of this old world, if you have health problems or any problem, no matter how large or small, He will take care of it.. let me encourage you, if you are feeling down and out and really don't know where to go, go to the Word of God and I promise you I will change your outlook on life, it did in mine..I have nothing to fret about as i am a child of the King and my home s in Heaven, won' you meet me up there?
Father thank for your wonderful life changing Word, the Word that can do all things for those who know you as Their Saviour..and as always it is our prayer that if their is someone reading this may they allow Holy Spirit speak to their hearts and this would be their day of salvation..in Jesus precious name i pray Amen..

[/align]What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Chorus
Leaning, leaning,
(Leaning on Jesus, leaning on Jesus)
Safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
(Leaning on Jesus, leaning on Jesus)
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
O how bright the path grows from day to day,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Chorus
[/align]
[/align]What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Chorus
