This is Namma for Christ with the two hundred fifty-seventh inspirational message dated Wednesday, November 1st, 2023. The title of this message is “Somebody To You – Psalm 37:1-6 – Surrendering to God”.

The first three words of this message’s title are also the words of the title of the below anointed song/video, “Somebody To You” (with lyrics) as performed by Rachel Lampa featuring Andrew Ripp.

The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the first through the sixth verses of the thirty-seventh chapter of Psalms:

Psalm 37:1-6

New King James Version - (NKJV)

¹ Do not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
² For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.

³ Trust in the Lord, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
⁴ Delight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

⁵ Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
⁶ He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.

 SURRENDERING TO GOD

 

⁵ Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this.  Psalm 37:5

 

Today's Scripture & Insight:

Psalm 37:1-6 

God doesn’t help those who help themselves; He helps those who trust in and rely on Him. Jonathan Roumie – the actor who plays Jesus in the successful TV series The Chosen, which is based on the Gospels – realized this in May 2018. Roumie had been living in Los Angeles for eight years, was nearly broke, had enough food just for the day, and had no work in sight. Not knowing how he would make it, the actor poured out his heart and surrendered his career to God. “I literally [prayed] the words, ‘I surrender, I surrender’.” Later that day, he found four checks in the mail and three months later, he was cast for the role of Jesus in The Chosen. Roumie found that God will help those who trust in Him.

Rather than being envious of and fretting over those “who are evil” (Psalm 37:1 - see verse above), the psalmist invites us to surrender everything to God. When we center our daily activities on Him, “trust in [Him] and do good,” “take delight in [Him]” (Psalm 37:3-4 - see verses above), and surrender to Him all our desires, problems, anxieties, and the daily events of our lives, God will direct us and give us peace (Psalm 37:5-6 - see verses above). As believers in Jesus, it’s vital for us to let Him determine what our lives should be.

Let’s surrender and trust God. As we do, He’ll take action and do what’s necessary and best.
