FEELING DEPRESSED?
Psalm 37:1-9
Never envy the wicked! Soon they fade away like grass and disappear. Trust in the Lord instead. Be kind and good to others; then you will live safely here in the land and prosper, feeding in safety.
Be delighted with the Lord. Then he will give you all your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him to help you do it and he will.
Your innocence will be clear to everyone. He will vindicate you with the blazing light of justice shining down as from the noonday sun.
Rest in the Lord; wait patiently for him to act. Don’t be envious of evil men who prosper.
Stop your anger! Turn off your wrath. Don’t fret and worry-it only leads to harm. For the wicked shall be destroyed, but those who trust the Lord shall be given every blessing.
(David calls us to take delight in the Lord and to commit everything we have and to do to him. But how do we do this? To delight in someone means to experience great pleasure and joy in his or her presence. This happens only when we know that person well. To commit ourselves to the Lord means entrusting everything-our lives, families, jobs, possessions-to his control and guidance.
Thus, to delight in the Lord means to trust him, believing that he can care for us better than we can ourselves. We should be willing to wait for him to work out what is best for us.
Anger and worry are two of the most destructive emotions. They reveal a lack of faith that God is in control. We should not fret and worry; instead, we should trust in the Lord. When you dwell on your problems, you will become anxious and angry. But if you concentrate on God and his goodness, you will find peace. Where do you focus your attention?)
