Psalm 37:1 (NIV)
Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong.
Fretting is not resting. “We must not permit ourselves to become fretful and envious.” Instead, we are to “trust in the Lord” (Psalm 37:3) and have confidence in His integrity and character (Isaiah 50;10). We will be able to rest from fretting as we seek and find in God our greatest joy and deepest satisfaction (Psalm 37:4 – Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.)
