Psalm 4

A Bible Devotion from Psalm 4
The Lord will Hear When I Call to Him

But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly; the Lord will hear when I call to Him. . . I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4:3 and 8

Can't sleep at night? I woke up last night when the phone rang at 12:30 am. I never did know who called; but, instead of going back to sleep, I began to worry about how my daughter was going to pay for college. How silly of me to let such a trite thing rob me of sleep. Why do I call it trite? Money difficulties which seem to plague us every day surely cannot be considered trite, can they? Yes, they ARE trite because God has already taken care of them.

By God's grace, as one of God's people that He has set apart for Himself, I know that the Lord will hear when I call out to him. So, I prayed for peace from God, knowing that He is always there to help, even in money difficulties. No, I didn't go right back to sleep; I read for an hour, and THEN went back to sleep.

Verse 8 should be our goal: I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. Safety here not only means safety from danger, but also safety from any of life's problems that seem to so quickly overtake us.

Pray to God today, that He will help you to remember to take all of your difficulties to Him. Then, go to sleep in peace, because they are now in the hands of God.
