37 poems are wisdom poems and alphabet poems. These 37 poems are like "proverbs", like what an experienced and respected elder said to the younger generation. Through the accumulation of life experience and the combination of famous sentences, the author teaches believers that the righteous should not envy the wicked for a moment. People often feel uneasy: why do I fear God so much, but I still suffer a lot, while God lives in sin, and he lives better and happier than me.
This poem reminds us of this situation. It encourages the audience to take the right path and wait and look up to God wholeheartedly. Because only in this way can we inherit the land gracefully. There is a similar exhortation in proverbs. 2. Text structure: Chapter 37 is divided into five sections: section 1-7 is about God-centered teaching, section 8- 1 1 is about waiting for God wholeheartedly, section 12- 17 is about the wrath of obedience to the Lord, and section.
The text explains:
37: 1: The original text has two meanings: one is "worry, fidgety". Second, "mixed". The author advises the audience not to associate with bad people. "Jealousy" originally refers to emotional anxiety, speculation, confusion and even used in anger, anger and hatred. It is also to remind people not to be jealous and let themselves follow the actions of the wicked to commit crimes. Why are we influenced by the wicked?
Because the wicked seem to do everything well, because they are jealous and envious of following in their footsteps to do evil. 37:2 is a lively picture. The wicked thrive, and the green grass is only temporary. From an eternal point of view, everything will disappear in an instant like the past. 37:3-4: "Trust in the Lord" and "You are not satisfied with the evildoers" are in sharp contrast.
Verses 3-4 remind you to focus on God and trust him wholeheartedly. Paul also said that he should think of things in heaven, not things on earth. Section 3 can be translated as "faithfulness will satisfy you and satisfy you." Our focus is on God's faithfulness, God's covenant, God will judge in the end, and he is the ultimate responsible person. The focus of the world lies in the comparison with others. The 37 concepts of contentment are based on God's faithfulness and faithfulness.
Misused by successful theologians. A man who delights in the Lord regards God's will as the highest pursuit and happiness in life. Therefore, what he wants in his heart is not his own desire, but joy in the Lord. This person will miss the things in heaven and regard God's will as the greatest pursuit of life.
Living with this attitude will be blessed by God. In the New Testament, God's blessings do not stop at the material level, but include all kinds of spiritual blessings, including peace, joy and hope. From the outside world, you can't live in this situation, but you can actually live on a solid and cliff.
