What things are we told not to do in these verses, and what reasons are we given for this? Answer: 1) told not to fret, 2) refrain from anger. To sum it up, God is in control.
What positive counsels are contained in verses 1-11? Note also the promises attached. How far are you personally obeying these injunctions? Answer: 1) Trust in the Lord (enjoy safety), 2) delight in Him (He will give you the desires of your heart), 3) commit to Him (He will make your righteousness shine), 4) be still and patient. It is hard to obey these. It is hard to let go of things for me many times and let God take control. As much as I know in my heart that God really is in control, it is my mind that doesn’t want to let go. Thank do for His Mercy and Grace!!
