Fret Not; Trust In Christ pt. 3: The Lord Protects and Delivers The Righteous

Dispel fear and envy of temporary, wicked people with patient hope in your eternal inheritance in Christ.

1. The Wicked wait in ambush; the Righteous wait for the Lord's protection. (32-34)

2. See how the wicked grow and wither; study the fruitful life and future of the righteous (35-38)

3. Take refuge in the Lord; He will deliver you from the wicked into His promised inheritance. (39-40)

Questions for meditation and Application:

Where do I run for refuge in the midst of sin and suffering? What helps me run to Christ instead?

Do I think of God's deliverance as only future? In what ways do I see his salvation today?

Who is an example of Christlikeness in my life? When and how can I encourage them that I see this and how will I imitate their example?

Read, respond, and apply: Psalm 1, 2, 73: Revelation 21-22; 1 Peter 1; Hebrews 10-12
