"Do
not fret because of evildoers, be not envious toward wrongdoers. For they will wither quickly like the grass,
and fade like the green herb. Trust in
the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
"Delight
yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in
Him, and He will do it. And He will
bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday.
"Rest
in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers
in his way, because the man who carries out wicked schemes.
"Cease
from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret, it leads only to evildoing. For evildoers will be cut off, but those who
wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land." Psalm
37:1-11
"The purpose of this book is twofold: First, I desire to glorify God by
acknowledging His sovereignty and His
goodness. Second, I desire to encourage
God's people by demonstrating from Scripture that God is in control of their
lives, that He does indeed love them, and that He works out all the
circumstances of their lives for their ultimate good."*
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
Darlene
