Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, Trust God and Do Good.

The answer to everything is that simple. Trust God and do good.

It's so freeing to believe God has everything under control because that means we can spend less time

worrying and more time trying to help others. Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Psalm 37 verse 1, fret not yourself. We have any fretters here in the congregation today?

Fret not yourself because of evildoers.

Need to be envious against those who work unrighteousness.

That which is not upright or in right standing with God.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass and wither as the green herb.

In other words, we don't need to be concerned

about all the stuff that's going on in the world of that.

I mean, we want to pray about it,

we want to do anything that God asks us to do,

but it's not gonna do us one bit of good to worry about it

because God is still in control and he has a divine plan that nobody can put a stop to.

God is going to take care of us as long as we do what verse three says.

Trust, lean on, rely on, and be confident in the Lord and do good.

Two things. Trust God and do good. Now I think this is a very important message and I was so thrilled many years ago when God showed me this, that trusting God is one thing,

but we're partners with God, and when we're trusting Him,

we don't just sit around passively

waiting for God to do everything while we do nothing.
