Daily Lesson for May 31, 2018

Today’s Daily Lesson comes from Psalm 37 verses 1 through 7:

1 Do not fret yourself because of evildoers; 

do not be jealous of those who do wrong.

2 For they shall soon wither like the grass, 

and like the green grass fade away.

3 Put your trust in the Lord and do good; 

dwell in the land and feed on its riches.

4 Take delight in the Lord, 

and he shall give you your heart's desire.

5 Commit your way to the Lord and put your trust in him, 

and he will bring it to pass.

6 He will make your righteousness as clear as the light 

and your just dealing as the noonday.

7 Be still before the Lord 

and wait patiently for him.

Desmond Tutu used to say, “This is a moral universe.”

We believe that. As Christians we have to believe it. We have to hope and believe in it and wait for it.

The arrogant prosper for a little while. They get their day in the sun. The vainglorious rule for a time.But in the end the harvest comes; and they wither like old, dead grass. 

Wait on the LORD. There is no need for vengeance. There is no virtue in sin. Wait on the LORD. 

For the day of the LORD shall come like a thief in the night, and in the morning the janitors will take the nameplate from the door.

And the stone the builders rejected becomes the cornerstone; and a century later the regents name a building after the one who was fired.
