Peaceful Heart & Trust

"1. Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; 
 2. for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
 3. Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
 4. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:1-4

It's all bout the heart and what's in it. Maybe we can hide what's in our heart from men but not from God. He knows our heart is sometimes frustrated and unsatisfied. He talks of a cycle some refer to as "karma", or "reaping what we sow". Do not envy those who do wrong, trust that you wouldn't want what they're reaping.

The third verse strikes me particularly: "dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture." You might not like where you live right now, or where you work, or where you go to school, or else. However, is it safe? If you trust in God, you know everything happens for a purpose, and that in everything He wants to bless you ("And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him" Romans 8:28)--doesn't mean you will have it easy, that there won't be any trial, but you will have the strength to face them and to be victorious. He invites you to dwell, and to enjoy where you are, because it is safe. Because where you are, He is with you, as He says Himself: "I am with you always." Matthew 28:20

He knows our heart. He knows our desires. And He has already provided, because He loves us. So let's delight in Him. :)
