psalms 139:16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
Psalms 4:1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2 How long, O you sons of men,
Will you turn my glory to shame?
How long will you love worthlessness
And seek falsehood? Selah
3 But know that the LORD has set apart[a] for Himself him who is godly;
The LORD will hear when I call to Him.
4 Be angry, and do not sin.
Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And put your trust in the LORD.
6 There are many who say,
“Who will show us any good?”
LORD, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
7 You have put gladness in my heart,
More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
Well this is one for the books! Or the blogs! :) I am having a rough time right now. This Psalm really speaks to me. Today I want to seek out true sacrifices of Righteousness. I don't want to sin when I am angry. I don't want to stop trusting when my feelings get hurt. If all the days fashioned for me are written in his book and he has promised to never leave me, then the encouragements in Psalms 4 should be ones that i cling to! I don't want to be one that seeks falsehood. Funny because I think i do that. maybe not seeking to deceive but a lot of times i rather hear what sounds good then face truth. God wants me to trust him and take things as they come good, bad, ugly, beautiful, sweet and all the stuff in between. Thank you Lord for ordering my days, please grant me repentance, wisdom, and righteousness.
