or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away." - Psalm 37
"Fret" is not a word we use much anymore, but we understand that it means 'to worry.' However, I think it means more than that - the definition of 'fret' is to be 'be constantly or visibly anxious.' So these words from the Psalmist invite us not to be always consumed with anxiety, especially in light of people who are wicked. The implication is that they will receive their reward in due course.
Jesus used the same sentiment when he spoke to his followers in his great sermon on the Mount:
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." - Matthew 6:34
Question: What is it that you are worrying about at the moment? How does today's Psalm help you to deal with your anxiety.
Living in Grace
