Don't Fret

Good Morning,

Psalm 37:1-8 (NIV)
Do not fret because of evil me

or be envious of those who do wrong;
for like the grass they will soon wither,

like green plants they will soon die away.
Trust in the LORD and do good;

dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
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 do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,

the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;

do not fret when men succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;

do not fret—it leads only to evil.

I received this today along with a message that I thought was to the point, very succinct, and it also made me smile. So I thought it would do the same for you. Here it is...

Let me now give you the Cliff Notes version:Don't fret.Trust God.Be happy in God.Commit to him.Rest in the Lord.Don't get all worked up.Don't fret.

It comes right back to don't fret - don't worry. Just let God have today. Let him be in control. Give yourself to him and rest knowing he is in control. (This from Adam at CF Devotionals)

Sometimes it's good to get the "Cliff Notes" version of things. Sort of gets right to the point, don't you think? Anyway, I know that I liked it...a lot!

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
