Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Wisdom

DAY 12 OF 30

  

September 12

Introduction

This psalm addresses the age-old question of why bad things happen to good people while evil people prosper. The psalmist indicates that he is old (verse 25), and it appears he has probably witnessed much in his lifetime. Despite the prevalence of evil, the psalmist exhorts his readers/listeners to trust in the LORD.

Today’s Scripture: Psalm 37:23

The LORD guides us in the way we should go and protects those who please him.

Today’s Reading 

Psalm 37

Reflect

The psalmist begins in an imperative tone, instructing his readers/listeners not to be worried on account of the wicked and not to be jealous of those who do wrong (verse 1). After you have read this entire psalm, can you agree with that statement? Why or why not? Given the situation in our world today, do you find this psalm comforting or encouraging? Why or why not? 

Pray

God of mercy and love, sometimes my faith is shaken when I witness evil in the world today and question why such acts happen. But I know, God, that you are always in control and that you see everything. You promise never to abandon those who put their faith and trust in you. Teach me to be patient and to wait upon you, trusting in your steadfast love. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Victims of terrorism and acts of war

Tomorrow’s Reading

1 Corinthians 1:1-17: The apostle Paul addresses the church in Corinth about problems that have arisen.
