One of God’s Great Don’ts

Verse: “Fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil doing.” – Psalm 37:8 (RV)

Quote: “Resting in the Lord does not depend on external circumstances at all, but on your relationship to God Himself.”

Worrying is one of those sins that a lot of Christians take for granted; some even think of worrying as a sign of maturity or wisdom.  However it is much more wicked than that, as it shuns the perfect peace that God freely offers us.  When we worry, we are effectively telling God there is nothing He can do about our situation–we are in control, and the outcome depends entirely on our own natural ability.  Constantly give your life, your environment, your thoughts over to God, and watch as He leads you to a place of rest time and time again.
