Psalm 4:8 ESV
When Life is Unfair...Find Peace
Psalm 4:8
1. It drags us deeper into ourselves
2. It gives us a sense of our limitations
3. It shatters the illusion of self-mastery
4. It teaches us gratitude
5. Sweeps us into a larger providence where “suffering becomes a fearful gift”
A peaceful internal world will overcome a chaotic external world
Psalm 4:8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
Every person who has dealt with unfairness in a healthy way has come to some level of peace
Psalm 4:8 for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
God offers us the peace we need to deal with the unfairness
John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation.
Philippians 4:6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
“When you cannot see your way, be satisfied that He is your leader. When your spirit is overwhelmed within you, He knows your path: He will not leave you to sink. He has appointed seasons of refreshment, and you shall find that He does not forget you. Above all, keep close to the throne of grace. If we seem to get no good by attempting to draw near Him, we may be sure we shall get none by keeping away from him.” -John Newton
Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Colossians 1:13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,
“Peace with God paves the way for peace with ourselves and equips us to make peace with others.” -Andy Stanley
