Are You Fretting Because Of Evil Doers? What God Says We Should Be Doing.

Are you fretting because of the evil someone else is trying to do to you?  To fret means to lose your peace. It means to be angry, anxious, and agitated. Is there something going on in your life that people are trying to do to you that's causing you to fret? The Bible tells us not to fret because of evil doers!  It tells us that our fretting only leads us to do evil as well.

The Bible tells us that instead of fretting over the evil that someone else is doing to us, we ought to turn away and to do good. That can be a hard thing to do. But that's what God wants us to do.  He said we are to depart from evil and to do good.  We are to shift our focus on things that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable.   It doesn't matter what others are doing, we are in control of what we do and we need to know how to bind up and cast down at the initial thought anything that tries to rise up that pertains to evil in response to the evil that someone else is doing.

This is where resistance comes in. We are to resist the devil and he shall flee. So we must resist the temptation to pay back evil for evil. We are God's children and our actions and reactions need to line up with God and His Word. We have to respond the way God would respond and not react the way the devil wants us to act. Amen
