Scripture Reading

Psalm 4

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 4:3

Remember that the LORD has chosen the righteous for his own, and he hears me when I call to him.

Reflect

Reread verses 2-5. What is the psalm writer’s response to those who are initiating insults? In verse 7, the writer speaks of the joy that comes from the Lord. In what ways do you experience the joy of the Lord?

Pray

Almighty God, you are my place of safety, and you hear me when I call out to you. In you, Lord God, I put my trust; your love and kindness fill me with joy. When I lie down, I sleep peacefully and safely in your love. Amen.
