Psalm 37 How to Deal with the Prosperity of the Wicked

This is an age-old problem for God’s people, “Why do wicked people seem to prosper while God’s people suffer at their hands?” How do I, a believer in Christ, reconcile the fact that God is in control of these things? Simply put, “How do we deal with the attitudes of worry and anger over godless people as we make our way through life?” How do we balance the sense of a lack of justice in this world?

David, the writer of this Psalm, gives us insight on how to fight off those feelings of distrust and unfairness to God that creeps into our hearts. You may be surprised to discover that David says that the problem is with us and not with the ungodly people around us.
