http://bible.us/psa37.37.nkjv Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. Human engagement and pursuit are mostly directed to the enrichment of material wealth. This pursuit promises convenience and high standa‎rd of living. Unfortunately, the clarification between the different qualities of pursuit is often disregarded by all desperate people. Righteous pursuit keep his delight in God while engaging with the elements of the world, while the priority of any unrighteous pursuit is the material enrichment. There might be nothing relevant to mark in the path of righteousness, other than the personality of the Righteous. But sincerely, a reliable rest is not the one taken on a peaceful path, but the heritage of a final place of peace.

http://bible.us/psa37.16.nkjv A little that a righteous man has Is better than the riches of many wicked. Just like a gigantic house‎ without the offering of the comfort of home has lost its relevant service, accumulation of the riches of this world without peace of mind is distasteful. Peace and contentment come from God, and not from the pursuit of wealth. Although diligence in business guarantees increase in popularity and prosperity, the scripture recommends the priority of the pursuit of God and His righteousness over diligence. Therefore, God will always be relevant in the righteous' business, family, and relationships. And since God is the source of peace and contentment, little always offer much more superior service when God is in it. ‎

http://bible.us/psa37.4.nkjv Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. ‎ The desire of any man in life is the prosperous fulfillment of a purposeful dream in life and ministry. While this desire is completely personal, man runs a competitive race with many others who are often uninterested in the fulfillment of his purposeful living. The desire to impress people is possible to attract progress along the path to one's purposeful dream, especially when racing with people of like precious dreams. However, it is largely unproductive to shift delight in the Lord to people, who are incapable of running without conflict with their personal interests. A singular delight in God produces nothing but a righteous desire, irrespective of the pain in the path to its fulfillment. ‎

http://bible.us/psa36.11.nkjv Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away. The unregenerated are outrightly severed from fellowship with God because of their entanglement with sin. However, fellowship is restored with God after His grace bring salvation to the soul. Therefore, intimate relationship with the Creator of heaven and earth is the evidence of new birth. Unfortunately, affection for the things of the life can introduce distraction from regular fellowship. After David assessed the thin line between intimate relationship with God and a subtle romance with the world, he was apt to cry for grace. The foot that suddenly drags to the presence of God is taken to be drifting as the foot of pride. While weariness to the call to offer services to the Lord is admitted as sign of wicked and unprofitable engagement of the hands against the service of its Maker. Holy discontentment for righteousness and intimate fellowship with God is prefer...

http://bible.us/psa35.13.nkjv But as for me, when they were sick, My clothing was sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting; And my prayer would return to my own heart. ‎ The value of a regular wheel alignment is not significant to road users who travel only on smooth and perfectly maintained roads. Whereas, the heart of wheelers on bad and ill-maintained roads are often not spared the ache of wheel misalignment. Irrespective of the damages of rough roads, the heart of a good and stable wheeler stay aligned in order to take good care of his misaligned automobile. After all, automobiles that are licensed to ply on bad and ill-maintained roads have little option until alternative roads are provided. Life's journey on this evil and wicked world is like travelling on bad and ill-maintained road. While sinners' ill-responses to the evil around them are not strange, the redeemed and regenerated heart is called to always be good and stable. This is the basis of David's act of con...

http://bible.us/psa34.9.nkjv Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. When the scripture says fear brings torment, the fear of the enemy or an assumed fiend is actually being referenced. David was overwhelmed by this slavish kind of fear when he suddenly found himself in the territory of the Philistines‎. But then, he remembered that even when he earlier stood before their champion, Goliath, he was not enslaved by fear; because he stood in the strength of the Lord. Whenever the Righteous remember that all the threats of the enemy amount to nothing before the Lord, it becomes easier to admit that the fear of God is the best therapy against slavish fear. Basically, the fear of the Lord delivers the Righteous from all arrows of the wicked.

http://bible.us/psa33.18.nkjv Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy. Faith in the Lord will be desirable, if following Jesus guarantees automatic cessation of the storms in the affairs of life. Therefore, a magical appearance of good fortune in life will definitely attract the attention of a multitude of people. Unfortunately, this bread and butter exodus of Disciples has been found to be unreliable in the inevitable absence of stomach infrastructure. Real connection with heaven is often secured through an enduring hope in the Lord's mercy.‎ The eye of the Lord remains the guide for those whose hope in His judgment endures every tough going.
