Psalm 37 says "don't fret." A secret of abundant life is to not worry. A man I knew with a heart condition, went out to shovel snow, had a heart attack and died. Many people die shoveling snow. Yet in a few days it's all gone anyway. It's just temporary, so why die from it? It's going to melt anyway. But we burden ourselves with snow shoveling every day. Even in summer. The enemy is always dishing out problems, issues, burdens, dangers, threats, irritations. They take away our peace and joy, maybe even our well-being in God. It's like the one who burdened himself with shoveling snow. These problems in the end are only snow. They are temporary arrangements. They are going to melt. It looks real, but in the end, for the child of God, it's only snow. So don't panic, don't react, don't lose your peace, don't get all wrapped up in that snow. In a short time it's going to melt. That problem will melt away, so don't let it kill you. Give it to God; it's going to melt anyway. Remember, God remains, but that problem is only snow.
From Message #955 - Fret Busting
Throw off your burdens and worries and give them all to God. Pray for His eternal peace to be on you unto everlasting.
Scripture: Matthew 6:25 | Psalm 37
