High School | What About Them? (Psalm 37: 1-11) | Collin Warner

Main message: Don't be anxious or envious when wicked people prosper; instead turn your eyes to the Lord—trust him, examine your own life, delight in his faithfulness, and remember God will judge the wicked and reward the righteous.

Key points:

• Stop fretting over evildoers and envy of their prosperity—David pictures their success as fleeting like grass that will be cut down.
• Examine your own life: rather than asking "what about them?" ask "what about you?" and live rightly before God.
• Trust the Lord for life (not just salvation): run to him as your refuge, and continue to do good.
• Feed on God's faithfulness by recalling his past acts and promises and by meditating on Scripture.
• Delight in the Lord so your desires align with him; remember God's judgment is imminent and the meek/righteous will inherit the earth—make sure your eternity is settled in Christ.
