Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr.Sunday, July 20, 20251130am

📖 Psalm 37:1-7

Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. turns to Psalm 37 to address the frustration of seeing people who disregard God appear to prosper. He urges listeners to stop comparing their lives with others and to rest in God rather than surrender to anger or envy.

Key Points

1.

Do not waste emotional energy or burn with anger over the seeming prosperity of wrongdoers.

2.

Trusting God means resting in His divine timing rather than measuring His clock by our own deadlines.

3.

When we wait on the Lord and refuse to fret, God provides territory and authority that extends far beyond physical property.

4.

Recognizing the overwhelming abundance of God's past blessings keeps us from becoming arrogant or ungrateful.

Psalms for the Summer

📖 Psalm 37:1-7

[1] Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. [2] For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. [3] Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. [4] Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. [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. [7] Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
