Welcome to a year in the Bible with daily grace.

From even to eternity, the Bible tells one big story of redemption.

My name is Tiffany, and I want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through the Bible chronologically.

Together, we will explore God's sovereign plan as the events of Scripture unfold and point to Jesus.

Hey, you're in the Bible family. Welcome back.

Tiffany here, and today, we head back to the book of Psalms.

We will study the final Psalm officially attributed to David, and two more that scholars loosely attribute to him.

Yesterday, we read about the final events and instructions from David before he died.

Family struggles followed David until he died, and the attempted coup to take the throne from yet another son,

likely weighed on the old, tired, and ill King David.

One of the major themes we trace in these three Psalms today is the prosperity, persecution, and rebellion of the wicked.

But while these Psalms might seem like laments, they also remind us of God's unchanging character.

He saves, he's near, and he comforts. He turns our sorrow into joy.

Psalm 37 is attributed to David, and laments when Godless people prosper.

This Psalm gives us a taste of the wisdom literature we will encounter in proverbs.

There are many nuggets of truth throughout these short stances that show the stark difference between the wicked person and the righteous person.

David knew many evil doers throughout his life, even in the end when his own son, Adonija, tried to take the throne.

But David had seen that even the wicked wither like the grass.

But for the righteous person, the outcome is different.

In verses 3 through 11, David shares multiple imperatives that the righteous or believers will do.

The righteous, trust in the Lord, dwell in the land, delight in the Lord, commit their way to him, wait expectantly for him, refrain from anger, inherit the land, and enjoy abundant blessings.

While the wicked person will be no more, the righteous will dwell in the Lord's presence forever.
