Psalm 4

4:1
For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm
of David. When I call out, answer me,O God who vindicates me! Though I am
hemmed in, you will lead me into a wide, open place. Have mercy on me and
respond to my prayer!
2
You men, how long will you try to turn my honor into shame? How long will
you love what is worthless and search for what is deceptive? (Selah)
3
Realize that the Lord shows the godly special favor; the Lord responds
when I cry out to him.
4
Tremble with fear and do not sin! Meditate as you lie in bed, and repent
of your ways! (Selah)
5
Offer the prescribed sacrifices and trust in the Lord!
6
Many say, “Who can show us anything good?”Smile upon us, Lord!
7
You make me happier than those who have abundant grain and wine.
8
I will lie down and sleep peacefully, for you, Lord, make me safe and
secure.

One thought:

 

Trusting in God, we can sleep peacefully for our eternity is safe & secure.

Three questions:

 

How does God show special favor to His people now?

 

Does God make you happier than more wealth or material things would?

 

As you go to bed this week – make it your practice to repent of sins and & meditate on God’s goodness.

Prayer:

 

Give thanks that God has favored you, by choosing you to know Jesus as Lord.

Ask forgiveness for desiring the things of this world more than God.

Ask God to help you find true peace in Him.
