Psalms 37:29

Psalms 37:29 says, The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.  I believe that the land that the righteous, those who have accepted God's salvation, will inherit is their heavenly home.  Verse thirty adds, The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.  The wisdom that David said the righteous speak is not their own wisdom, but the truth of God.  God gives His people the wisdom about life.  Verse thirty-one continues, The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.  As David said, the law of God should be in our hearts, or minds continually, and when it is we will not slide back into sin.  Verse thirty-two states, The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.  We as followers of Christ, the righteous, will always be watched by the wicked, those who do not believe in or follow God's law through faith in Jesus Christ, and they will often do all that they can to destroy us, or at minimum our witness about Jesus Christ.  Verse thirty-three adds, The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.  David said that God would not leave the righteous in the hand of the evil, nor condemn him when he was judged.  We already have everlasting salvation through our faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.  Verse thirty-four declares, 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.  As David said, we are simply to wait on the Lord and one day we will inherit our heavenly home, and the wicked will be cut off from it.  Verse thirty-five adds, I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.  David said that he had seen the wicked in power, and we today too often see this in the world around us.  Verse thirty-six continues, Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. David said that though the wicked at times had great power that it did not last, and neither will it today.  Verse thirty-seven says, Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.  David said we are to follow the example of the perfect man, and only Jesus Christ is perfect, and to behold the upright, those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ, for He is a man of peace.  Verse thirty-eight adds, But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. David then said that the wicked would be cut off, and the wicked, those who refuse to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord, will one day be forever cut off from the presence of God.   Verse thirty-nine declares, But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.  As David said, our salvation is of the Lord, and He gives us strength in the times of trouble.   Verse forty adds, And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.  David said the LORD would deliver the righteous, those who put their faith in Him, and He already has given us an everlasting victory over the wicked of the world.
