Comfortable "Psalm 37: 3-11"

HOW TO STAY COOL, CALM & COLLECTED

Into: Fretting, or Worrying is not God’s will for His children. In fact, He commands us NOT to worry, be anxious or fret. So how do we not worry or fret? here are 4 directives:

I. Trust in the Lord v3

Psalm 37:3 KJV 1900

3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; So shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

II. Delight in the Lord v. 4

Psalm 37:4 KJV 1900

4 Delight thyself also in the Lord; And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

III. Commit unto the Lord vs. 5-6

Psalm 37:5–6 KJV 1900

5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; Trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, And thy judgment as the noonday.

IV. Rest in the Lord vs. 7-11

Includes waiting patiently vs. 7a

Includes refusing to fret vs. 7b

Includes ceasing from anger vs. 8

Includes seeing the big picture vs. 9-10

Includes anticipating the reward of righteousness vs. 11

Conclusion: David was a man of war and needed to stay “Cool, Calm & Collected”, and usually he did. vs. Ps. 3

If David could do it, we can do it too! In fact, we have several advantages he did not have:

We have the indwelling Holy Spirit. . .

We have the completed Scriptures. . .

We have the local Church. . .
