Psalm 37 is too long to print here, but it came to my mind today. It was a scripture that a man named Earl Lee used to preach on once a year. His sermon was called The Cycle of Victorious Living. You may have heard about it. You may have listened to someone else who stole the idea, borrow the idea or simply hit on it by coincidence. It’s a marvelous formula for living life.
The point that Pastor Lee kept repeating was “fret not”. You’ll find that in the first verse then, as you look down the page if you have the King James Version you’ll see certain verbs at the beginning of verses in the first part of the Psalm. It’s a great pattern to follow.
Trust,I’m not sure that that’s the exact order that he presented it. Every year the sermon was fresh to us. I don’t know if he used exactly the same outline or worked through it again, but it was something to look forward to.
Delight,
Commit,
Rest.
After each point he would remind us to fret not. Ultimately that seemed to be the key to making the whole process work.
I don’t know if you need this today, but it certainly helped my sun come up.
Blessings.
