#2 Evil Schemes but Good Prospers

Psa 37:1-3 NASB A Psalm of David. Do not fret because

of evildoers, Be not envious toward wrongdoers. 2 For they will wither quickly like the grass And fade like the green herb. 3 Trust in the LORD and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.

like grass And all who did iniquity flourished, It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.

• Faders– Jas 1:11 NASB For the sun rises with a scorching

wind and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.

• Set up and Stay

• Seed– Mar 4:31-32 NLT It is like a mustard seed planted in

the ground. It is the smallest of all seeds, 32 but it becomes the largest of all garden plants; it grows long branches, and birds can make nests in its shade."

• Steadfastness

Psa 15:1-5 NLT A psalm of David. Who may worship in Your sanctuary, LORD? Who may enter Your presence on Your holy hill? 2 Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts. 3 Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbours or speak evil of their friends. 4 Those who despise flagrant sinners, and honour the faithful followers of the LORD, and keep their promises even when it hurts. 5 Those who lend money without charging interest, and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent. Such people will stand firm forever.
