His Time - Scripture Studies: Psalm 37, Proverbs 9, Reading from C.F.W. Walther

1. Meditation on the Day’s Psalm

Rev. Jonathan Fisk gives a meditation on the Psalm of the Day, Psalm 37:25-29.

Psalm 37:25-29

²⁵I have been young, and now am old,
    yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
    or his children begging for bread.
²⁶He is ever lending generously,
    and his children become a blessing.

²⁷Turn away from evil and do good;
    so shall you dwell forever.
²⁸For the Lord loves justice;
    he will not forsake his saints.
They are preserved forever,
    but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
²⁹The righteous shall inherit the land
    and dwell upon it forever.

2. Meditation on Proverbs

Rev. Jonathan Fisk gives a meditation on Proverbs 9:7-12.

Proverbs 9:7-12

⁷Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,
    and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
⁸Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;
    reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
⁹Give instruction^[a] to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
    teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
    and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
¹¹For by me your days will be multiplied,
    and years will be added to your life.
¹²If you are wise, you are wise for yourself;
    if you scoff, you alone will bear it.
