In part one of my meditation on Psalm 37, King David told me to not fret about those who do evil because they will perish. In part two, he told me to instead trust in the Lord and do good. Part three reminded me that God does in fact care for the righteous and brings justice. Now to my fourth and final meditation on this rich psalm. David delineates what I can look forward to when I live as the righteous person he has declared me to be, and trust in him as the God who cares for me.
Shalom
Advent 2025 Second Sunday: PEACE
This year, I'm pondering the traditional Advent themes—HOPE, PEACE, JOY, and LOVE—found in the apostle Paul’s letter to the Galatians (my recent Bible study). Last week we examined the "hope of righteousness." Today we look at PEACE.
Advent 2024 Fourth Sunday: Prince of Peace
(Oops! This title should be Advent 2-2023). My Advent ponderings this year are inspired by my recent study of Isaiah and one of the most beloved descriptions of the character of the Messiah. The first Sunday, I pondered wonderful counselor. Next mighty God on the second Sunday. Then everlasting father. Finally Isaiah describes this one-who-would-reign-on-David’s-throne as the PRINCE OF PEACE.
