Thursday, August 16th: Psalm 37-39, Matthew 24: 32-51 ~ Nathan


Today's reading I found had many portions that stood out to me, many verses that gave encouragement.

Psalm 37: 3-4
Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. [4] Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart

Seems simple, trust in the Lord and you will be rewarded. What often leads us astray is thinking that we will rewarded right away. We will be rewarded for trusting in the Lord, but that may come later in life, or even when we get to Heaven.

Psalm 39: 6-7
“Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be. [7] “But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.

A good reminder that we need to look and focus on God, and not get carried away with worldly desires and making them our priority.
