Psalm 4: Joy in Hardship

Does the unexpected, the unwanted, the unplanned, the difficult, the hard thing, remove your joy? How sturdy is your joy?

Well, joy in hardship is one of the primary themes of the Psalms; that surely is the theme in Psalm 4. In the middle of suffering, David gives us an example of sturdy vertical joy. If your joy is circumstantial and horizontal, when hardship in those areas come, you will then experience a loss of your joy.
