[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 37]] ## Title: Two Keys for the Good Life ## Scripture: (Psalm 37:3-5) “Trust in the Lord and do what is right. Settle in the land and maintain your integrity. Then you will take delight in the Lord, and he will answer your prayers. Commit your future to the Lord. Trust in him, and he will act on your behalf.” (NET) ## Observation: Two times David says the key to living a good life involves doing good or committing everything you do to the Lord and trusting the Lord. If we think about it like a garden, doing good or committing our ways to the Lord is like planting the seed. We plant acts of kindness and doing things that please the Lord. Trusting in the Lord is like watering the seed. We trust the Lord will use our good deeds for His glory and our good. Then, we wait to see what happens. The results will be a harvest of God’s goodness in our lives. It is important to realize that the good life is not a perfect life. We still have challenges and issues to walk through in this fallen world. The good life is a life of joy and consistently seeing God move in all we do. ## Application: Serve God. Trust God. Watch what happens. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for giving us the good life as we follow You.
