17^th Sunday after Pentecost

Psalm 37:1-9, paraphrased by Pastor William

Stop fussing and being envious;

            good things happen to bad people too.

That is not a reward for their behavior;

            rain falls on good and evil alike.

Stay focused on what matters;

            continue to do good.

Remember God loves you;

            God desires good for you.

Dedicate yourself to following God’s ways;

            where grace, mercy and love reign.

Rest in God’s goodness;

            let evildoers wallow in their filth.

Renounce your anger;

            nothing good comes from it.

Be glad God provides enough for all;

            cherish what God does for you.
