Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or
stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in
the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like
trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their
leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do. Psalm 1:1-3
This week's blog topic from Proverbs 31 OBS is on “Worry”… AND I know a thing or two about worry. I’m betting a lot of you reading this do as well. Dictionary.com defines worry as: “ to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret. ” Torment oneself. Suffer. Fret. That’s what I can do to myself sometimes. I’ve heard that if you worry you don’t really trust that God can handle it. You don’t trust God with it. That’s hard to swallow for me. Because I worry about my kids, my family, me, friends, etc. But I’m in the Bible every single day. I am a Jesus girl. So for me to worry and then see that my worry means I don’t trust that God can handle it is hard. UGH. I am getting better about it though. My time with God every morning is helping. When I start to worry about something…I begin to pray. I stop the tormenting in its tracks and give it to Jesus. Now, I may have to give it to Jesus more than once.
