Instead of fretting…

 Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.

Psalm 37:1-3 (ESV)
 
Often, when God tells us to avoid one behavior, He gives us another positive action. In this case, we are told not to fret about evildoers. As mentioned in the previous “Thought for the Day,” fretting wastes time and changes nothing, while ruining our lives.
 
Instead of fretting we are told to trust the Lord. This has enormous implications. Those in God's family can trust that their Father has their back. They can know that anyone who does evil to them because of their love of Him will be dealt with. First and foremost, God would like to bring them into the family and have them on the same side. However, if they choose to continue to be enemies of God, they will be enemies of His children, and they will eventually pay the price for such foolishness.
