Today’s Scripture is Psalms 37:1-2.
“Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.”
In these verses we are reminded not to worry about those who do wrong and seem to succeed. Sometimes it feels unfair when people who do bad things appear to prosper while those who try to do good struggle. But God tells us not to fret or be envious. Their success is like grass that withers—it is only temporary. Our call is to remain patient, to trust in God, and to stay focused on doing what is right.
This takes patience and faith. God sees the bigger picture and knows the right time to make things right. Our job is to keep living righteously, even when it’s hard or seems to go unnoticed. The reward for patience isn’t just peace of mind—it’s knowing that God’s will ultimately prevails.
