“For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed; the offspring of the wicked will perish.”

[Psalm 37:28 NIV]

Devotional

David wrote Psalm 37 to help God’s people stay steady when it seemed like evil was flourishing and righteousness was overlooked. In the middle of tension and unanswered questions, he offered this reassuring truth. God loves those who seek to walk in His ways, and He will not forsake them. His faithfulness is stronger than the uncertainty around us and deeper than the challenges we face.

This promise does not deny that life can feel unfair. Sometimes the wicked seem to advance while the faithful struggle. But David reminds us that God sees the whole picture. His justice is certain, even when delayed, and His care for His people never wavers. The world may shift, but God’s commitment to His own stands firm.

For every believer, this verse is a calming anchor. God will not abandon you in hardship, confusion, or quiet seasons where nothing makes sense. His love is steady. He watches over the steps of those who trust Him, and He holds their future securely. You do not have to fear being forgotten. God’s faithfulness is your shelter.

Take heart today. The Lord who loves you will walk with you, protect you, and bring justice in His perfect time.
