"Chillax!"

“Chillax!”

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.     Psalm 37:7



I really like the word “CHILLAX”, which is a combination of two words: CHILL and RELAX.  Both of these words mean to make LESS tense.  In this Psalm, the Psalmist, King David is telling his readers to “BE STILL, or CHILLAX, don’t get all TENSE about things, but CHILLAX and WAIT.



Now notice, he tells us HOW we should WAIT; “WAIT PATIENTLY for Him, (GOD).  This is all a part of BEING STILL or CHILLAXING.  When a person gets all “WORKED-UP and TENSE over their problems or their present surroundings, then they FRET and that leads to WORRYING, which is a sin. It is a SIN, because it shows a LACK of FAITH and TRUST in the ONLY ONE who is in TOTAL CONTROL of EVERYTHING.  For sure, there are times, when we QUESTION, if GOD really KNOWS what is happening, but He REALLY DOES. Sometimes, He allows things to HAPPEN to TEACH us a lesson, and sometimes it may be to TEACH someone else a lesson, which could determine their DESTINY. 



The Psalmist tells us: “Do NOT FRET when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their WICKED SCHEMES.”  We live in a VERY WICKED WORLD, one that is full of people with WICKED SCHEMES.  Some are involved in the LEADERSHIP of our NATIONS, and they are the ones who are trying to put into practice their WICKED SCHEMES, that would eventually DESTROY the GOOD, POSTIVE, and GODLY things that we NOW CHERISH.  However, we are NOT to FRET about this, because GOD is STILL in CONTROL.  And in the END, HE WINS!!



In the END, there will NOT be ANY WICKED people or ANY WICKED schemes.  In verses one and two of this Psalm, King David says: “Do NOT FRET because of those who are EVIL or be ENVIOUS of those who do WRONG; for like the grass they will soon DIE AWAY.”  In other words: “CHILLAX!!”  TRUST in the LORD and BELIEVE He will do ALL He says He will do.  Have FAITH in GOD, He’s STILL on the THRONE.  There’s a BETTER DAY coming!!



But if you are one of the WICKED PEOPLE with WICKED SCHEMES, your FUTURE is pretty GRIM.  Those who have NOT given their HEART and LIFE to GOD, their DESTINY is an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, after you are there.  And you SHOULD be FRETTING over your involvement with WICKEDNESS and the fact that you will face the ALMIGHTY GOD at His JUDGMENT SEAT, where He will bring CONDEMNATION and SENTENCING on ALL who have been REJECTING His gift of SALVATION, and are PRACTICING a WICKED lifestyle.  The ONLY HOPE for you is for you to be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your wicked lifestyle, and to TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  BELIEVE with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  Then you MUST ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and DO NOT FRET, but CHILLAX, because you will have an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW while you STILL can.  He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
