PSALM THIRTY-SEVEN SPIRITUAL DIRECTION Verse 1-8

The words of Psalm 37 do not address God because, in this kind of prayer, we listen to God, eager to respond to Him.
In Psalm 37 Our Creator delivers Fatherly words of wisdom, admonition,warning and promise.
He speaks these words right into our heart; Hence the importance of an eager open heart.
In this kind of prayer, the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit helps us to identify how each word applies to our own life currently, how God's word of admonition, warning or promise speaks about our own attitudes and actions , our intentions and hopes.
It is Jesus who lives within our heart who enables and empowers our responses to this divine revelation about ourselves !
By the grace of Jesus himself we are able to respond eagerly......in the sight of God.
As our Counselor and Comforter gently makes the words of our Heavenly Father personal  to us,
it is the indwelling Christ who both enables and motivates us to;-
     Cease from anger and forsake wrath
     Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him
     Commit our way unto the LORD
     and trust in Him
     Delight in the LORD
     Trust in the LORD and do good
     Fret not for ourselves
     or envy evildoers !
