Psalms 37:2 Cut Down… Ouch

So yesterday we started our 40 Days in Psalms, specifically Psalms 37. In verse one we were admonished to not fret or be envious of evildoers. Now here in verse two we find out why.

“For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.” Psalms 37:2

Ouch, what imagery!!

I am reminded that the righteous are compared to trees (Psalms 1:3) while here the unrighteous are compared to grass.

“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Psalms 1:3

I’d like to be a tree. How about you!

Today, as we write Psalms 37:2 scripture on our hearts, let us ask God to help us be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters.
