Summary

In this solo NEW episode of Stand Up for the Truth, guest host Dave Wager turns our focus to the timeless wisdom of Psalm 37. Dave walks through the full chapter, emphasizing five clear alternatives to worry: trust in the Lord, delight in Him, commit your actions to Him, be still in His presence, and turn from anger. Drawing from both Scripture and personal experiences, Dave explains how these practices offer practical hope in a culture plagued with anxiety and fear. Psalm 37 reminds us that fretting over the wicked is as useless as rubbing sandpaper on wood until there’s nothing left—worry only wears us out. God, not our emotions or circumstances, is our fortress in times of trouble.

Dave also reflects on how God’s justice and care contrast with the empty promises of the world. While evil may flourish temporarily, the wicked will fade like grass—but those who know and trust God will endure, and their steps will be guided by Him. Through illustrations ranging from college conversations to a powerful childhood memory of his father standing up to injustice, Dave encourages believers to live lives marked by righteousness, generosity, and peace. If you’re feeling worn down by life’s chaos, this episode invites you to rest in God’s truth, re-frame your focus, and remember who truly holds the future.
