Psalm 4

Goodness, it's been a while. I have been working a lot & spending some time alone with the Lord, but I have not been spending enough time on this study. My apologies. Even though I have been working a lot is not an excuse at all. This study is so important because at the end of the day, you can gain so much from a Psalm.

Thanks.

Peace.

Trust.

Those are the three things I have been really praying hard on the past few days. Being thankful for what the Lord has given me & making the best of all situations. No complaining :) Having peace with certain situations in life. Completely giving them to the Lord. Which leads me to trust. Having peace with a certain thing in life is giving your trust to the one who it needs to be in. I'm learning a lot about trust such as what is the difference in trust on earth & trusting in the Lord? I'm really digging deep into some thoughts about that.

As long as we are curious...

Psalm 4

I believe Psalm 4 goes hand-in-hand with Psalm 3 - both being based on peace & being at peace. Verse 5 stands out to me saying, "Offer right sacrifices and trust in the Lord." (NIV) We should give ourselves over to him in complete obedience to see what his overall plan is for us. Trusting in him is where our sacrifice lies. Even if we don't want what his "obedience" calls of us at a certain time, we trust in him to know it is for the best. Not only should we trust in him, but we should praise his name. At the top of our lungs we should praise his name!! Tonight, praise him for the things he has put in our lives. Give him thanks & let your heart rest in peace tonight as you lay your head on your pillow that your life is in the Lord's hands. & trust in the Lord.
