Trust and Rest

Don't fret.  Don't worry.  Our enemies who are protesting God and His Church will be cut down.
Easy to say, difficult to do.  We must trust in God, do good, be strengthened by God's faithfulness, enjoy our relationship with God and our time in His Word.
In order to commit our way to God, our way has to match up with His way.  THEN He will show that our enemies have been lying.
Rest and wait patiently for God to take care of everything.  Don't get upset about our enemies seeming to prevail.  Satan and his crowd SEEM to be winning because they're so loud, but what "seems to be" isn't always reality.
Definitely the hardest command in this Psalm is to not even be angry about all this.  My anger does no good.  It only does harm.
Jason hasn't publicly defended himself or denounced his attackers for their lies.  He has personally contacted them and tried to make things right.  Evildoers will be eliminated eventually, and true Christ followers will enjoy peace with God.  Right now, we have small glimpses of peace in the beauty of God's creation, in the harmony and support of friends and family, and in the hope of Heaven.  What these protesters have meant for evil, God will work out for good and for His glory.
