Yes, this was the title of my daily devotional yesterday. Yikes! I was highly, highly convicted. Convicted because I have let so much fretting take place in my life over these past months. God has been working not only in my own personal growth experience but also Ryan. Our future, jobs, family, etc, etc. We have had a lot enter our lives, excitement, the unknowing, comforts, and so much more that I have let some fretting enter my life that doesn't need to be there. Yesterday was a turning point for me. Here are some words taken from the daily devotion so you can feel the impact of God's words.
"Worrying always results in sin. We tend to think that a little anxiety and worry are simply an indication of how wise we really are, yet it is actually a better indication of just how wicked we are. Fretting rises from our determination to have our own way. Our Lord never worried and was never anxious, because His purpose was never to accomplish His plans but to fulfill God's plans. Fretting is wickedness for a child of God."
BOOM!! Wow, again as I type it, it makes me embed these words into my heart. Fretting is wickedness. I do not want to be wicked! I do not want my way to be right and wiser than the Lords. As things seem to be moving in an uncertain direction of life these days, I pray for my heart and soul to be trusting and patient. My prayer will be.."Commit my way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass." Psalm 37:5
