Psa 4:1, …HEAR ME WHEN I CALL, O GOD OF MY RIGHTEOUSNESS! YOU HAVE RELIEVED ME IN MY DISTRESS; HAVE MERCY ON ME, AND HEAR MY PRAYER.
“LORD YOU HAVE ANSWERED ME BEFORE, HEAR ME AGAIN”! DAVID IS PASSIONATE IN HIS PRAYER TO GOD AND KNOWS THAT HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS COMES FROM THE LORD! HOW DO WE PRAY TO HIM, DO WE STIR OURSELVES UP IN PRAYER?
Isa 64:7, And THERE IS NO ONE WHO CALLS ON YOUR NAME, WHO STIRS HIMSELF UP TO TAKE HOLD OF YOU; …
Psa 4:3, But know that the LORD HAS SET APART FOR HIMSELF HIM WHO IS GODLY; THE LORD WILL HEAR WHEN I CALL TO HIM.
David said “HIM WHO IS GODLY, NOT PERFECT!” IN THE EYES OF THE LORD NO MAN, BESIDES HIS SON, IS PERFECT! FOR HE KNOWS THAT WERE MERE DUST! WILL THE LORD HEAR US WHEN WE PRAY?
Psa 103:14, FOR HE KNOWS OUR FRAME; HE REMEMBERS THAT WE ARE DUST.
Psa 4:6-7, There are many who say, “WHO WILL SHOW US ANY GOOD?” LORD, LIFT UP THE LIGHT OF YOUR COUNTENANCE UPON US. YOU HAVE PUT GLADNESS IN MY HEART, …
THERE ARE MANY CYNICAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCE GOD OR EXPERIENCE HIM ONLY TO ATTRIBUTE IT TO COINCIDENCE! BUT DAVID KNOWS HIS GOD; IN DUE TIME THE LORD WILL ANSWER HIS CALL AND OURS IF WE TRUST AND SEEK HIM!
Psa 4:8, I WILL BOTH LIE DOWN IN PEACE, AND SLEEP; FOR YOU ALONE, O LORD, MAKE ME DWELL IN SAFETY.
During trials sleep often goes out the door, for you mind can’t rest thinking of what can happen! DAVID KNEW HIS GOD, AND HE DIDN’T LOOK AT HIS CIRCUMSTANCES OR DWELL IN WHAT MAY NEVER COME; HE LOOKED TO GOD ALONE! HIS COMFORT WAS IN KNOWING THAT THE LORD WILL TURN THIS AROUND! IN KNOWING HIM AND SEEKING HIM WE CAN HAVE REST EVEN IN OUR WORSE MOMENTS! TRUST IN HIM!
Pro 3:24, When you lie down, you will not be afraid; Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.
