Psalm 37
Those
who ‘trust in the Lord...will dwell in the land’. Those who turn from
Him will ‘perish’(Psalm 37:3,20). Through faith in Christ, we look ahead
to ‘a heavenly country’, ‘better’ than anything we will know on earth
(Hebrews 11:16; Philippians 3:20). We have caught sight of ‘a happy
land, far, far away, where saints in glory stand, bright, bright as
day’. We have heard the sound of their song - ‘O how they sweetly sing,
“Worthy is our Saviour King!”’ We lift our voices to the Lord - ‘Loud
let His praises ring, praise, praise for aye’. Still, some are
perishing. They have not come to Christ for salvation. To them, we say,
‘Come to this happy land, come, come away; Why will ye doubting stand?
Why, still delay?’(Revised Church Hymnary, 587). Trust in the Lord now and look forward to being with Him in heaven.
