"Be still before The LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret, it leads only to evil." Psalms 37:7-8 (NIV)
These are the words of King David, inspired by The Holy Spirit of God, addressed to the people of God, telling them to relax, be calm, and do not get upset because of what is going on around them, especially the success of the wicked.
These words are also appropriate for us today. The wicked, the evil ones, the liars, and the cheats seem to be getting ahead in this world and enjoying the spoils of success. Whereas the good, "the nice guys" seem to finish last. Believers should not worry about the wicked ones, for they will soon be cut down. (Psalms 37:1-2) Rather, what we should do is trust in The Lord, commit to The Lord, delight in The Lord, and do that which is good in His sight, and He will give us the desires of our hearts. (Psalms 37:3-5) We should learn how to mind our own business and not worry about the affairs of others. (1 Thessalonians 4:11) We should do what The Lord has assigned for us to do, and we should pray for every body else, good and bad.
