Do Not Fret

"Do not fret because of evil men 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.

(Psalm 37:1-3)

Read Psalm 37:

Sometimes it seems like wicked evil people get away with things.  We hear of people committing crimes and getting a mere slap on the wrist.  There are many cold cases all around and some may never be solved.  There are people in our word today that think they have gotten away with a crime, but truth be known they haven't.

A person can fool people at times and a person can hide things from others for a time, but a person can never hide from God.  The wicked people in our world may seem to have gotten away with there "dirty deeds", but rest assure they will have to answer to the Lord God Almighty in judgment.

When we are aware of wicked people plotting things we need to trust the Lord to empower us to speak up against the evil deeds and take action to safe guard the innocent.  We must be still and know that the Lord is God and He will bring judgment on those who do evil.

We believers in Jesus Christ must pray for our governments and our local leaders.  We must pray that God will intervene and change the tide.  We must pray that people's hearts will be opened to the Lord.  For the Lord is the true living God and there is no other God besides Him.  He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Let's not be discouraged when it seems like there is wickedness everywhere.  Instead let's be  a people of prayer and trust the Lord to act through our prayers to turn people's hearts back to Him.  The Lord is still in control and we are all accountable to Him.

Lord,
Help us not to fret about things out of our control.
Help us not to fret about wicked people in our world today.
Help us instead to lift our eyes to You.
In Jesus Name,
Amen.
