Psalm 37 — Trust the Lord and Do Good

Dave Jenkins continues the Reading the Bible Daily with Dave series by walking through Psalm 37, a wisdom psalm that addresses a struggle many believers face: seeing the apparent prosperity of the wicked while the righteous endure hardship. In Psalm 37, David calls God's people not to fret over evildoers or envy their temporary success. Instead, believers are commanded to trust in the Lord, delight in Him, commit their way to Him, and wait patiently for His justice and care. This psalm reminds us that while the wicked may seem to prosper for a time, their success is temporary. The Lord upholds the righteous, establishes their steps, and preserves those who take refuge in Him. Ultimately, Psalm 37 points us to Jesus Christ, the perfectly righteous One who trusted the Father completely and now upholds His people through His grace and intercession. Key themes in this episode: • Do not fret because of evildoers • Trust in the Lord and do good • The Lord upholds the righteous • The steps of the godly are established by God • Waiting on the Lord with patient faith Psalm 37 calls believers to live with quiet confidence in God's justice, faithful care, and sovereign purposes.
