GRACE IN GOD’S GUIDELINES LEADS TO BLESSING

Part 4

The grace in God’s guidelines lead to His blessings for such a time this. In Psalm 37:30-40 (NKJV), the word of God proclaims, 30 “The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of justice. 31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. 32 The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him. 33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. 34 Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, and He shall EXALT you to INHERIT the land; when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. 35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a native green tree. 36 Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more; indeed I sought him, but he could not be found. 37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; or the future of that man is PEACE. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off. 39 But the SALVATION of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their STRENGTH in the time of trouble. 40 And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, BECAUSE THEY TRUST IN HIM.”

The previous Scriptures give a vivid contrast over and over again between the righteous and the wicked. Sometimes we experience very difficult situations in our lives that we don’t have the power to handle, BUT GOD DOES. He has proven countless times that HE is my STRENGTH, my PEACE and my SALVATION. God’s word tells me that if I will purpose to live blameless before Him, God will intervene in my circumstances, turn them totally around and exalt me with favor, if I trust Him. He will also give me an inheritance. Since God is no respecter of persons, He will do the same for you (Acts 10:34). He will not allow the unrighteous to devour us. The fact that Almighty God will defend me is glorious news. God’s promises are true forever! Hallelujah to the LORD!!!
