Statement – Worryis an assault on the character of God. It says that you DON’T BELIEVE Him and that HE is NOT capableof seeing you through – Robbing you of Joy. Don’t live your life as a Practical atheist and expect the Peace of God to rule your heart. Meaning that the Practical Atheist is someone who Says that they Believe in God – They believe that the word of God is From God and can be trusted – The Christ Died for Sinner – but they live life as though there is no God. They Disregard the Sovereignty of God and the authority of the Word of God – floating from worry to worry. STOP IT – and Believe – and find the Peace of God!
Ps. 37
The entire chapter is so incredible. One verse particularly stands out in regards to worry – being anxious – and fretting over things we can’t control. It is verse 8:b. It says…
.
Do not fret – it only causes Harm.
.
What does it harm? It harms you!
I have found that the only cure for Fretting is trusting! We as God’s children must learn to trust God in all things. He has taught us over and over again that He takes care of His children. If He can take care of the birds – grass of the fields – etc… how much more will He watch over you? The Lord witholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly! It says in Ps. 34:9 that to those who Fear Him – there is no want! He says again in Ps. 37:19
” They shall not be ashamed in the evil times, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. ”
.
Last time I looked – we are in a time economically that in the minds of some would be considered a “Famine” although the word Famine conveys a much worse situation where there is absolutely no food and water for the majority. We are not there but many are suffering with the current conditions. But will God allow those who trust Him and fear Him to suffer like those who do not know Him? Will God overlook the righteous? NO He will not. It is against His nature. So trust Him and stop fretting. Start believing the truth that He has taught us. Trust and be still. Fear Him and walk in His ways. God will order your steps. (Vs.23)
.
If you are lost ( or part of the religeous lost- the many in Matt 7:23) none of this applys. His concern over the wicked is not the same as His concern over His children. (Those who are in Christ by the election of God) God does have a common grace – but this is limited. The wicked person- God does not concern Himself with. He desires wrath for the wicked. He lets them have the fruit of their own way.
But the Righteous – We can REST -TRUST- BE STILL – AND KNOW that our God reigns and will take care of you. BE still and stop fretting!
