Rounding out this last third of our 3 part Summer of Psalms series, this episode looks at the justice and deliverance of the Lord. Because God takes care of His own, His righteous ones will stand when evildoers fall. We know there is an eventual judgement that will come upon unbelievers. We know that despite the deep love of our Creator, there is a level of justice that He must uphold. For those in Christ, there are action steps in all of this. How am I living and what am I living for? Am I going after the inheritance Psalm 37 speaks of? And if I have a glimmer of hope that is flickering, how do I fan that into flame and live on fire for my God? This is your invitation to come and hear about the God who rescues and saves!

As we dive further into Psalm 37, we see that God has much to say about the righteous man. Despite what this life brings, a righteous man's needs are met; his household is taken care of and provided for. He is also generous and giving and this is in stark contrast to evildoers and the wicked. Finally, the steps of a righteous man are upheld by the Lord. God is not going to allow him to stumble or stay down because He watches out for him. A righteous man serves and obeys his God. Therefore, God protects him and keeps his life. Psalm 37 has many promises and this episode outlines several of them. We can take heart. God is with us.
