πŸ’₯ Living in peace and goodness as we wait for the return of Jesus.

 
Psalm 37
 
1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
 
(fret not: be constantly or visibly worried or anxious; feel uneasy; be distressed; be upset; concern oneself; make a fuss; complain; grumble; whine; feel peeved)

 Example:  We had to use our air conditioning during the July home church meetings.  Noise comes into the house from the outside A/C unit. I have very strong hearing, especially when there is a steady hum of motor noise. When I recognized the problem, I took immediate action.  I ordered a set of Bose noise suppressing head phones which blocks certain noises. I can test these and if they do block some of the troubling noises that will be the possible answer.  If not, I can return the headphones to Amazon and receive my money back.  These should arrive this coming Sunday.  I am very hopeful to be able to control this troubling sound this way. 

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

4 Delight thyself also in the LORD
(The Word); and HE shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
 
(If we delight in the scriptures, God will put HIS desires into our hearts.)

5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in HIM; and HE shall bring it to pass.

6 And HE shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for HIM: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
 
(Wait as a good servant of God speaking and doing that which God shows you to do.)

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
  
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

22 For such as be blessed of HIM shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of HIM shall be cut off.

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in HIS way.

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with HIS hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor HIS seed begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not HIS saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

34 Wait on the LORD, and keep HIS way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in HIM.

The apostle Peter says:  
 
2 Peter 3:10-14
 
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
 
Avoid those things that make you angry.
 
Keep yourself in the peace of the Word of God, knowing God is in charge and God will judge this world and those things that concern us who seek HIS righteousness.
 
Seek the right way of God which is shown to us by the New Testament Bible by the Spirit of God.
 
It was ordained by God and shown us by the Holy Scriptures that in the end time antichrist would appear in the churches setting up false doctrines so they would fall under the judgment of God.  I was angry at these churches until God showed me this truth.  In the last days they would fall away from some scripture setting themselves up to be judged by God.  When I saw this was ordained by God to happen, I was no longer angry.
 
2 Thessalonians 2 
 
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
 
(As I read this scripture in 1982, God said to me, "The falling away are not people leaving the churches.  The falling away are the churches leaving the scriptures and setting up other doctrines.")

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 
(After the churches leave scriptures from the Holy Bible, that spirit of antichrist moves in to that congregation to reign. )

When Jesus returns, HE will judge these antichrist churches.

2 Thessalonians 2

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Romans 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
 
Live by these verses of scripture daily, and your life will turn around.
