Wait Upon the Lord

This sermon, centered on Psalm 37, delivers a pastoral and convicting call to trust in God's sovereignty amid fear, anxiety, and suffering. Drawing from biblical narratives—such as David's victory over Goliath, Peter's sinking in the storm, and the faith of martyrs—it emphasizes that fear is not from God, who has given believers a spirit of boldness, not fear. The preacher unpacks the psalm's core message: do not fret over the apparent success of the wicked, for their power will be broken and the righteous will inherit the new earth; instead, delight in the Lord, commit one's way to Him, and wait patiently, knowing He directs every step and sustains even the fallen. Through stories of historical faithfulness—like the Scottish Covenanters and George Müller—the sermon illustrates that true security lies not in worldly success or safety, but in abiding in Christ, whose resurrection life guarantees eternal hope. Ultimately, the message is one of enduring faith: though trials come, God is present, faithful, and will one day bring forth righteousness as the noonday, making all suffering worthwhile in light of eternal glory. json
