Psalms 37:3-4. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
The psalmist begins with "Fret not thyself, . . . neither be thou envious;" but he advances to something higher. He seeks to lead his hearer or reader up to "trust in the Lord," and then still further up to "delight in the Lord." A Christian should constantly be on the rising scale; though he is ever in the way of change, it should be a change for the better. Take care, dear friends, that you are people of simple trust: "Trust in the Lord;" and then you shall advance to delight in him: "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."
