Psalm 37 The Lord Will Not Abandon His People

This past Sunday I finished a short series on Psalm 37. God was gracious and kind to us to show us this Psalm 37 during a very challenging time we shared about in our e-newsletter. What a great truth to ponder on that no matter what we are going through, no matter how difficult, and how challenging life can get, the Lord will not leave us to our own demise.


In my efforts to do the psalm justice I broke it up over three weeks. The first week we focused on the command from the psalmist, "Do not Fret but Trust" The second week we discovered in the psalm that the Lord is our Sustainer, and the third week we focused on How the Lord is our Deliverer in times of trials.

I would like to share with you the last sermon I preached and the wonderful truths that the Lord has used to penetrate my soul.

First, In times of trials, Jesus gives us the gift of repentance. v.27

Second, In times of trials, Jesus gives us the gift of hope. v.34

Third, In times of trials, Jesus gives us the gift of refuge. v.39-40

These truths have given me perspective and I believe Kendra as well as we continue to trust in our Chief Shepherd, Jesus, who leads us through the challenges of church planting.

A song that has brought us much comfort is from the Come Weary Saints album By Sovereign Grace Music, called Every Day.

verse 1

In Your grace You know where I walk

You know when I fall

You know all my ways

In Your love I know You allow

What I cannot grasp

To bring You praise

Chorus:

Thank you for the trials

For the fire, for the pain

Thank you for the strength

Knowing You have ordained

Every day

Bridge:

In my uncertainty, Your Word is all I need

To know You're with me every day

verse 2: Well you will just have to buy the CD....
