Psalm 4, 365 DAYS OF LOVE #239: TIME WITH MY NEPHEW

MEMORY VERSE: "Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against each other. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." Colossians 3:13

NOTES: Answer me when I call to you, 

   my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;
   have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

 ² How long will you people turn my glory into shame?
   How long will you love delusions and seek false gods^[b]?^[c]
3 Know that the LORD has set apart his faithful servant for himself;
   the LORD hears when I call to him.

 ⁴ Tremble and^[d] do not sin;
   when you are on your beds,
   search your hearts and be silent.
⁵ Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
   and trust in the LORD.

 ⁶ Many, LORD, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?”
   Let the light of your face shine on us.
⁷ Fill my heart with joy
   when their grain and new wine abound.

 ⁸ In peace I will lie down and sleep,
   for you alone, LORD,
   make me dwell in safety.

My favorite verse is v.4: "In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent." Oftentimes, when I find myself angry I need to keep repeating this verse in my mind. I think it's one opportunity for me to "offer right sacrifices" and to practice trusting God more than lashing out. 

Also, highlight v.8: "I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord make me dwell in safety."

ACT OF LOVE: Helped my sister out throughout the entire day by periodically watching and playing with my nephew. He is the cutest thing ever! :)
