Hi Brian!

The word for this week is "fret". We find it in these verses:

Psalm 37:1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. KJV

Psalm 37:7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. KJV

Psalm 37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. KJV

Proverbs 24:19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked; KJV

These are all the Hebrew word "charah". Strong's Concordance says: to glow, to glow warm, to blaze up, of anger, zeal and jealousy. Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon adds: to be hot, to be furious, to burn, to be angry, to be kindled. Vine's Expository Dictionary says: to get angry, be angry. The word refers to the burning of anger, with a zeal for work. 

One of the enemy's favorite 'tricks' and 'strategies' is to get us to STOP having faith, trust and confidence in the Word of God, and to put our trust in humam efforts! I know that YOU KNOW that there is a different, and better way! When we put God and His Word top priority in our lives, we give GOD something to work with to get us all to a better situation than the one we left behind! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Young and Free with a song called "Keep On" that addresses these things! 

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
