Psalm 4:3-8 (NCV) says:
You know that the Lord has chosen for himself, those who are loyal to him. The Lord
listens when I pray to him. When you are angry do not sin. Think about these things
quietly as you go to bed. Do what is right as a sacrifice to the Lord and trust the Lord.
Many people ask, “who will give us anything good?” Lord, be kind to us. But you
have made me very happy, happier than they are, even with all their grain and new
wine. I go to bed and sleep in peace, because, Lord only you keep me safe.
Sometimes, I wish you could see my thoughts, (then again, that would land me in a padded room for sure). This was the text from my Random Book of Devotions. As I sit down to breakfast and my quiet time each morning, I thank God for the meal, ask him to bless it and to open my heart and mind to his word. And as I read, I try to look for what's in it for me. God's word is intentional. What does he intend for me to see today?
He continually amazes me! I am well aware that if you could actually see into my thoughts, you would indeed, think I'm as crazy as a loon. I, think that myself, frequently. This scripture has taken my rambling thoughts and fears and put them in print, right before my eyes. There they all are. And practically, in as much disarray as my thoughts are. (I've always felt a kinship with King David. Even more so, now.)
Thank you, Father, for speaking to me through your word. Thank you, for your reassurance and that I can see you molding me into a better me. A me that is more like you.
Lord, I know that you are leading me. Help me, Lord, to watch and listen for your direction.
