Psalm 37:16-17 (03-25-09)

Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked; for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.

— Psalm 37:16-17 (NIV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

What do we want to be the basis of our security? Will it be what we can do, accomplish, achieve, earn, and hoard? Or will it be our God, who has shown himself faithful throughout generations upon generations? We get to choose! So what will be your choice? In what will you find your security?My Prayer...

Almighty God, you are the Father of Israel, God of the nations, and my Abba Father. I place my trust in you. I know that my money, possessions, achievements, and abilities are not my own. You have blessed me with these to honor you and bring your grace to others. Please keep my heart pure and focused on you. Gently purge my heart of pride and selfishness. Please pour your blessing out on me so that I might bring you greater glory and those I love your gracious blessings. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Hi, this is my first post. I just wanted to comment on this verse as being particularly meaningful in light of the fact that there have been so many people talking about how much money they lost in their 401K's, and about how the wealthy are taking advantage of the government handouts.

I also wanted to comment on the link when I click on the Bible verse, it's a wonderful link to looking up Bible verses. I've never seen one so complete! It even explains the original Hebrew!

Thank you

Rose
