Obey & Pray

Sep 21, 2025    Pastor Robin Maxson

In this powerful exploration of Psalm 37:4, we're challenged to reconsider our understanding of God's promises and our relationship with Him. The message delves into the dangers of 'contract theology' - the misguided belief that if we do certain things, God is obligated to give us what we want. Instead, we're encouraged to view this verse through the lens of wisdom literature, understanding it as a proverb rather than an absolute promise. This shift in perspective invites us to delight in God for who He is, not for what He can give us. As we grow in our knowledge and love of God, we learn to trust His generosity and wisdom, even when our specific desires aren't met. This teaching reminds us that our ultimate fulfillment comes not from getting what we want, but from deepening our relationship with a God who knows what we truly need.
