Be patient and wait for the LORD to act;

Don't be worried about those who prosper

Or those who succeed in their evil plans.

Don't give in to worry or anger;

It only leads to trouble.

Those who trust in the LORD will possess the land,

But the wicked will be driven out.

Psalm 37:7-9

As followers of Christ, we are commanded to live by the principles of the Bible. At times, this will cost us popularity or success. Truth may cost more than a lie; conviction more than convenience; honesty more than cheating.

When we do what is right,

we gain the LORD's approval.

To lose is not always failure.
