This week I have been meditating upon one of my favorite passages ~ Psalm 37:1-11. It has been especially meaningful to me as I've read it in the Amplified Translation. Here it is to share with my friends, as well as for me to read it again and again. In difficult times it is good to know that our Lord is in control, and that He cares about everything about which His children are concerned. 1FRET NOT yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness (that which is not upright or in right standing with God).  
2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 
3Trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and feed surely on His faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed. 
4Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart. 
5Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass. 
6And He will make your uprightness and right standing with God go forth as the light, and your justice and right as [the shining sun of] the noonday. 
7Be still and rest in the Lord; wait for Him and patiently lean yourself upon Him; fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass. 
8Cease from anger and forsake wrath; fret not yourself--it tends only to evildoing. 9For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait and hope and look for the Lord [in the end] shall inherit the earth. 10For yet a little while, and the evildoers will be no more; though you look with care where they used to be, they will not be found. 11But the meek [in the end] shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 
May you be blessed this very day as you read and meditate on this passage, and bask in your Savior's love & care of you.
