Do Not Fret

Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong.
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.


--(Psalm 37:1-8)

Trust in the Lord.
Delight yourself in the Lord.
Commit your ways to the Lord.
Be still before the Lord.

Trust. Delight. Commit. Be still.

I love when you add scripture to your blog! This one is reassuring and comforting. Scripture can give you great strength when you're down to nothing!
