Let’s talk about justice.
Or, really, the lack of justice.
Evil seems to be winning.
The underhanded always seem to get ahead.
Injustices seem to go unanswered.
We fear God may never set things right.
But our faith says he will. Revelation 21 reminds us that a day is coming when all that is wrong will be made right.
But until that day, we live in a world where the broken way seems to be advancing.
Yet it is here, in this broken world, that Scripture exhorts us to lay aside our fears and trust God and his good plans.
Psalm 37 is about laying aside our fretting and learning to wait well.
I pray that as you meditate on this Psalm, your heart will be encouraged to turn your fears into trust.
God has it under control.
You do not need to be afraid.

The entire meditation text is as follows:
Psalm 37:1-8, NET
1 Do not fret when wicked men seem to succeed!
Do not envy evildoers!
2 For they will quickly dry up like grass,
and wither away like plants.
3 Trust in the Lord and do what is right!
Settle in the land and maintain your integrity!
4 Then you will take delight in the Lord,
and he will answer your prayers.
5 Commit your future to the Lord!
Trust in him, and he will act on your behalf.
6 He will vindicate you in broad daylight,
and publicly defend your just cause.
7 Wait patiently for the Lord!
Wait confidently for him!
Do not fret over the apparent success of a sinner,
a man who carries out wicked schemes!
8 Do not be angry and frustrated!
Do not fret! That only leads to trouble!
