Little verses - Big stuff

Pslam 4:4 Be angry, and do not sin;ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
5 Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the Lord.

6 There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?
Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
7 You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound.

8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.


This is one reason why I love the Psalms. There is SOOOO much packed in to these 4 little verses. There are sermons (more than one) packed into each of them.

At the end of the day though, verse 8 here makes for a really good prayer. Especially that "you alone" part. It ties in to Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" devotion for this morning.

Here is a taste "O believer, learn to reject pride, seeing that thou hast no ground for it. Whatever thou art, thou hast nothing to make thee proud. The more thou hast, the more thou art in debt to God; and thou shouldst not be proud of that which renders thee a debtor." —CH Spurgeon Morning and Evening

It might seem like a loose tie-in there, but I see my security, my safety, my EVERYTHING as a gift from God alone!

God is good!
