The fate of the wicked (verses 12-22)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2037:12-22&version=NIV
Modern society rejects the authority of past experience. The Bible bases its warnings and promises on the record of the past. God is not threatened by rebellion against Him, nor is His judgment avoided. Calamities will come, but deliverance will also come.
Loving God, wicked people plot against righteous people; but You laugh at them, for You know their day is coming. Thank You that You uphold the righteous. Help us to live righteous lives and give generously.
The blessings of the righteous (verses 23-31)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2037:23-31&ver
God’s children often find themselves alienated in this world, but God promised that He will not forsake His own. When we faithfully experience trials we find Jesus our sympathizing companion. Nothing can stop the blessings righteous people will experience.
Righteous God, make firm our steps as we delight in You. Thank You that though we stumble, we will not fall, for You uphold us. Thank You that You love the just and will not forsake Your faithful ones. Increase our righteousness, Lord.
