Tis the Season of the Birth of Jesus the Christ

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Psalm 37:4 - Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.

Scripture: Delight Yourself in the Lord.

• Don't get caught up in the world's problems. Stay focused on the Word.
• Obey God in all things.
• How do the wicked seem to prosper when the righteous seem to suffer?
• We must trust in God and do good. Psalm 37:3
• We must focus on God.

Psalm 37

• 1 Do not fret over those who do evil;

  do not envy those who do wrong.

  2For they wither quickly like grass

  and wilt like tender plants.

  3Trust in the LORD and do good;

  dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.

  4Delight yourself in the LORD,

  and He will give you the desires of your heart.

  5Commit your way to the LORD;

  trust in Him, and He will do it.

  6He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn,

  your justice like the noonday sun.

  7Be still before the LORD

  and wait patiently for Him;

  do not fret when men prosper in their ways,

  when they carry out wicked schemes.

  8Refrain from anger and abandon wrath;

  do not fret—it can only bring harm.

  9For the evildoers will be cut off,

  but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

  10Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more;

  though you look for them, they will not be found.

  11But the meek will inherit the land

  and delight in abundant prosperity.

  12The wicked scheme against the righteous

  and gnash their teeth at them,

  13but the Lord laughs,

  seeing that their day is coming.

  14The wicked have drawn the sword

  and bent the bow

  to bring down the poor and needy,

  to slay those whose ways are upright.

  15But their swords will pierce their own hearts,

  and their bows will be broken.

  16Better is the little of the righteous

  than the abundance of many who are wicked.

  17For the arms of the wicked will be broken,

  but the LORD upholds the righteous.

  18The LORD knows the days of the blameless,

  and their inheritance will last forever.

  19In the time of evil they will not be ashamed,

  and in the days of famine they will be satisfied.

  20But the wicked and enemies of the LORD

  will perish like the glory of the fields.

  They will vanish;

  like smoke they will fade away.

  21The wicked borrow and do not repay,

  but the righteous are gracious and giving.

  22Surely those He blesses will inherit the land,

  but the cursed will be destroyed.

  23The steps of a man are ordered by the LORD

  who takes delight in his journey.

  24Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed,

  for the LORD is holding his hand.

• Ephesians 1:3 - All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united to Christ.

• Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33

• John 14:14 - Yes, ask me for anything in my name and I will do it!

• Be steadfast, unmovable, always, abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.

• Delight in the Lord!
