My Daily Pause

In Psalm 4, David shines light on the state of man’s heart. (v2) Why does one seek out the pleasure of fleshly things when in the bottom of his heart he knows he needs God?

James called these people – these friends of the world – the enemy of God. (James 4:3-4)

David reminds those who are friendly with the wrong things that God only hears the prayers from the godly. A good question to ask is if we are seeking the right treasure. When this is true for us, we can “lie down in peace and safety.” (v8)

What if from today, you followed David’s example in Psalm 4:1-4?

When you are having trouble that seems bigger than you, turn to God rather than try to handle it on your own.

He has everything under control!
