Can God? (Psalm 37 )

 A  little chorus goes, ' When your cup runneth over' with joy,is based on a quotation from the Hebrew Bible ,Psalm 23 v 5,means,'I have more than enough for my needs'. God loves to bless His children, most Fathers do, if they can,sometimes they just cant do it ,but our Father in heaven can,In unbelief  the children of Israel in the wilderness tested God,by declaring ,'Can God spread a table in the wilderness?'.  So often like them we limit God,but of course He can, CP Matthew 6 v 31 - 34. He is not only able, he will provide,the Psalmist in Psalm 37 v 3 exhorts us to'Trust in the Lord and do good;  so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed'  In v 25, he also declares out of his own experience,'I was young  and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread'.   Verse 3  tells us to do two things,'Trust in the Lord and do good',to trust God is essential, seems so simple it seems so simple,but many are not prepared to do that. Next he tells us to do good, no shady dealings,no thinking He will understand,no He won't,he expects us to act with integrity at all times.This Psalm was written by David,in all his troubles he had proved God to be faithful,it is now our turn to prove God's faithfulness.
