When I got home, I read the whole psalm several times and found that there was a lot in it that related to our work in the Danish European Mission. Through the reading of the psalm, I saw the following three things that are and will be our lot - as Christians - in life.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Opposition to the righteous, the believer, the one who walks with God<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We know this all too well in DE and have experienced it since the 1960s (the start of the Danish European Mission):<br \/>\n<em>The unrighteous spins schemes against the righteous and grinds his teeth against him.<\/em> <em>The unrighteous draw the sword and draw the bow to cut down the helpless and poor and slaughter those who live righteously.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. <\/strong><strong>Is God silent? Does he not care? Is God doing anything?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>What God does about it is often forgotten in our eagerness to serve Him and work for Him with help, money and support. But what does Psalm 37 say about what God does?<\/p>\n<p><em>The Lord laughs at him\/her.<br \/>\nTheir swords strike them in the heart and their bows are broken.<br \/>\nThe Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the unjust and saves them, for they take refuge in him.<br \/>\nThe Lord supports the righteous.<br \/>\nThe Lord loves justice, and he does not fail his faithful.<br \/>\nThe salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their defense when trouble comes.<br \/>\nThey are always protected,<strong> and <\/strong>the righteous shall inherit and possess the land (the Kingdom of God) and dwell in it forever. <\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. <\/strong><strong>Our vocation and service in Danish European Mission has God's attention<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em>It is the Lord who directs a man's course, who strengthens him and rejoices in his journey.<br \/>\nWhen he stumbles, he doesn't fall down, because the Lord supports him. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The mouth of the righteous proclaims wisdom, his tongue says what is right.<br \/>\nThe righteous is merciful and generous.<strong>\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Find your joy in the Lord and he will give you what your heart desires.<br \/>\nHe has the law of his God in his heart, his steps do not falter. Be still before the Lord, wait for him. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Niels Peder Nielsen is chairman of the board of the Danish European Mission and assistant pastor at Silkeborg Oasis Church.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":1444,"template":"","class_list":["post-1443","blogindlaeg","type-blogindlaeg","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","infinite-scroll-item","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Blog: Salme 37 viser os tre forhold, som er vores lod som kristne | Dansk Europamission<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/forfulgtekristne.dk\/en\/blog\/blog-psalm-37-shows-us-three-things-that-are-our-lot-as-christians\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Blog: Salme 37 viser os tre forhold, som er vores lod som kristne | Dansk Europamission\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"P\u00e5 en cykeltur kan man t\u00e6nke p\u00e5 s\u00e5 meget, og en dag p\u00e5 cyklen mindede Gud mig om, at n\u00e5r jeg kom hjem, skulle jeg l\u00e6se Salme 37.
