"Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;" - Psalm 37:1
I know that we don't use the word 'FRET' much anymore, but when we spend a little time dwelling on its meaning, one realises what a powerful word it is.
Fret can mean - “be constantly
or visibly anxious” (verb)
Or it can mean - “gradually
wear away something by rubbing/gnawing”
After doing a little digging around I realised it comes from an old English word ‘freton’, which literally means ‘to devour like an animal.’ And if we analyse, we conclude that this is what worry does to all of us – it eats us up from the inside.
Question: What are you fretting about at the moment? Are you able to hand this over to the Lord?
Living in Grace
