"Fret Not" - Easier Said Than Done

"Fret not yourself of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil." ~Psalm 37:1-8
Just some thoughts from Sunday: We serve a God who does the impossible. With God, all things are possible. The God who created all things, calls me Friend, a child of God. "O, Lord, my God. When I in awesome wonder,  consider all the worlds Thy hand hath made. I see the stars; I hear the rolling thunder. Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul, my Savior, God to thee. How great thou art, how great thou art!" ~How Great Thou Art "Lord of all creation, Of the water, earth and sky. The Heavens are Your tabernacle; Glory to the Lord on high. God of wonders, beyond our galaxy, You are holy, holy. The universe declares Your majesty. You are holy, holy. ~God of Wonders
God works His mercies by His Spirit, even amongst a rebellious people. ~She Reads Truth, 1&2 Samuel, Day 5 Be careful what you ask for! Israel asked for a king, and got one. Only this king was not going to be a good thing for God's chosen people. But God, in His infinite wisdom allowed them to have what they wanted, and the Savior would come through a future king, David. Those Israelites are always teaching me lessons!
