It speaks to the anger that rises when dishonesty appears to succeed, domination appears effective, and doing good seems to make little difference.\n\nRather than allowing the enemy to organize our inner life, the Psalm gives us another Way:\n\nPlace your Security in YAHWEH. Do good. Roll your Way onto God. Be Trustfully-Still. Wait. Keep the Way.\n\nWaiting is not passivity. The person waiting for YAHWEH continues to practice generosity, speak Justice, and do good.\n\nJesus echoes this Psalm when he blesses the humble and promises that they will inherit the earth. The Messiah shows us how to confront evil without adopting domination or allowing opposition to define who we become.\n\nThis episode prays selected portions of Psalm 37. The full Psalm is available in the Daily Prayer Companion.\n\n“There is a future for the person of Peace.”"}
