Do Not Fret
October 19, 2023
There’s much these days that tempts us to fret. Scripture tells us 4 times not to fret. That means to not be anxious or worried, wearing away of our peace. An old definition compares it to devour, as like an animal eating away.
Whether it’s the direction of our country, who’s in leadership, or relationship turmoil. God consistently tells us to trust Him. He has and knows the future. We do not. Much is beyond our control. We fret about that. Nothing is accomplished. Sometimes our only action is prayer. We can speak up and speak truth. We can intervene where we can bring good.
But most of all, we trust. The result? Peace, and being able to focus on what we can impact in our world.
