Day1



Greetings! Today we begin our 21-day journey through Psalm 37!

Our theme is “Learning to Love God More.” We will go verse by verse and allow the Lord to speak to our hearts and minds. In addition to myself, other contributors include Patricia Hudson, Stacy Williams, Min. Bertha Fields, and Pastor Lee Rob. I will be writing the majority of the lessons, and I deeply appreciate the contributions of these fellow servants of God.

Lessons will be posted by 5:30AM each day. I encourage you to incorporate these brief lessons into your regular devotional rhythm.

Would also like to invite you to join New Covenant Church for Corporate Prayer on Zoom Wednesday evening at 7:30 PM (EST).

Day 1 — Do Not Fret

Scripture: Psalm 37:1

Key Thought: Anxiety over evil drains the soul more than evil itself.

Prayer: Lord, quiet my spirit and anchor my trust in You.

Delight: Learning To Trust God More





LISTEN TO PODCAST


This message by Bryan Hudson provides insight on the powerful and often misunderstood principle of delight—what it truly means to delight ourselves in the Lord and, through that delight, learn to trust God more. Scripture teaches us that trust is not static; it can grow, mature, and deepen as our hearts are trained, shaped, and aligned with God’s purposes. As we enter this season of reflection and devotion, we are reminded that delight is not merely an emotion but a disciplined orientation of life—one that influences our desires, our decisions, and our direction. When we learn to delight in the Lord, we discover that trust increases, wisdom grows, and God faithfully brings His purposes to pass.

Do You Need To Be Converted? – Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute #206 for January 28, 2026


“Do You Need To Be Converted?”





Matthew 18:1,  At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Advice For Those Who Will Not Be Silent



As we are dealing with many grievous situations in our world, those of us who won't be silent will have to maintain balance. We must remain vigilant and active. At the same time, we must avoid strife or becoming obsessed with the deeds of evildoers.

Those of us who care about our community and country do not have the luxury of sitting on the sidelines or only posting happy, silly, or self-serving content. We are also called to live in joy and peace.

Here is a Scripture text to meditate on from Psalm 37. Note that three times Scripture states, “do not fret.”

1 Do not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
4 Delight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
Do not fret—it only causes harm.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off;
But those who wait on the Lord,
They shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, you will look carefully his place,
But it shall be no more.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace
