DAILY READINGS: Judges 8; Isaiah 29; 1 Corinthians 8 Fret not thyself because of evildoers. Psalms 37:1a
Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way. Ps. 37:7b
Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. Psalms 37:8b The adversary delights to make us fret. Then we’re of no value to the Lord and of no encouragement to His people. David surely had cause to fret because of circumstances in his life, yet instructs us three times in this psalm not to do so. If I don’t fret, how am I to occupy my heart and mind? Again David helps us: trust in the Lord (v. 3); delight in the Lord (v. 4); commit thy way unto the Lord (v. 5); rest in the Lord (v. 7); wait on the Lord (v. 9). Keeping our mind on the Lord totally changes our outlook! —W. Ross Rainey What we in glory soon shall be, it doth not yet appear;
But when our precious Lord we see, we shall His image bear. —R. Boswell |
