Sunday’s Sermon:
Aliso Creek Church Podcast
Passage:
1 Do not be agitated by evildoers;
do not envy those who do wrong.
2 For they wither quickly like grass
and wilt like tender green plants.
3 Trust in the LORD and do what is good;
dwell in the land and live securely.
4 Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you your heart’s desires.
5 Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him, and he will act,
6 making your righteousness shine like the dawn,
your justice like the noonday.
7 Be silent before the LORD and wait expectantly for him;
do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way,
by the person who carries out evil plans.
8 Refrain from anger and give up your rage;
do not be agitated—it can only bring harm.
9 For evildoers will be destroyed,
but those who put their hope in the LORD
will inherit the land.
10 A little while, and the wicked person will be no more;
though you look for him, he will not be there.
11 But the humble will inherit the land
and will enjoy abundant prosperity.
(Psalm 37:1-11 CSB)
Song:
The Day of the Lord (Psalm 37) by Wendell Kimbrough
Lyrics:
It’s not long ’til the boastful
Are silenced and shamed
It’s not long ’til the wealth
Of the wicked’s reclaimed
And the ones who have waited
With eyes on the Lord
Will shine like the sun forevermore
It’s not long ’til the Day of the Lord
Just be still and be faithful
And dwell in the land
Put your trust in the Savior
And cling to his hand
When your heart burns with anger
For all that is wrong
Do not let the dark steal your song
It’s not long ’til the Day of the Lord
It’s not long till the Day of the Lord
It’s not long till the Day of the Lord
Everything that is broken will soon be restored
It’s not long till the Day of the Lord
Do not fear for the wicked
With weapons of war
For the Lord is the shelter
And strength of the poor
And our God comes with laughter
Let him be your joy
The power of the sword he’ll destroy
It’s not long till the Day of the Lord
Prayer:
This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
