Psalms 37:34 KJV
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.
I find in the last segment of this Psalm three verses that begin with and action. There are some things we as Christian must simply leave to the Lord, but these verses give us three things a righteous man can do:
Depart from evil and do goodvs 27
Step one in building righteousness into our character is to first depart from the Lord and then do good. The Bible says when we do this we will "dwell for evermore." In its ultimate sense then this passage instructs us to depart from the world and place our faith in Christ (that is doing good).
Wait on the Lord and keep His wayvs 34
I have always loved the word wait. It means to be bound together. The Christian ought to bind himself to Christ. We ought to get so wrapped up in the Lord and the things of the Lord that He "drags us along" in His way. No options, no alternatives. We go where Christ goes.
Mark the perfect man and behold the upright
vs 37
The Christian who would have a consistent and growing testimony of righteousness marks out those who have that sort of testimony and they behold or watch them. They will build relationships with them and they will learn from them. Our friends play a huge role in determining who we will become. Good friends make for a better character in us. Poor friends make for the opposite.
