Psalms 36-38

  • Sinners often think they are so good they don't see anything wrong with themselves (36:2)
  • In God's eyes, that is not wise at all (v3) and doesn't do or think anything good at all (v4)
  • God's love and righteousness is just so great (v5-6)
  • He is life and our light to provide guidance (as well as showing our bad side) (v9)
  • Ask God for guidance in preventing him from falling into the pits of sin (v11)

  • Sometimes it may seem sinners reaping so much (earthly) benefits but we are reminded that it is not what we are after. God promises that these won't last (37:1-2, 9-10)
  • He reminds us to trust the Lord and anchor yourself with God (v3-5)
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
-- Psalms 37:7
