Through the Psalms #4

“In peace I will lie down and sleep,

For you alone, Lord,

Make me dwell in safety.”

Psalm 4:8

I encourage you to read the entire psalm

Once again, David, king and psalmist, acknowledges the security provided by God. Even though he has many troubles, including wars, both within and without, David is able to lie down and sleep. Only God allows him the peace of mind to let him safely rest.

In the midst of your troubles, give them to God and rest in his peace, my friends, rest.

Father God, thank you for giving us security and peace of mind. Even in the midst of trials, your protection allows us to sleep peacefully.

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
