Dwell in Safety (verses 6-8)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ps%204:6-8&version=NIV
Our society searches for those who can bring prosperity. May the light of Jesus Christ through His church shine on us and fill us with joy. God does not necessarily take our troubles away; instead He gives us inner peace and joy. Trust in God brings us greater comfort than all the prosperity the people around us so eagerly seek.
Father of lights, let the light of Your face shine on us. Fill our hearts with joy. In peace may we lie down and sleep, for You alone, Lord, make us dwell in safety.
O Lord, my heart is fixed; Jesus is my hope and righteousness; the Lord will hear me when I call. And henceforth will I both lay me down in peace and sleep securely in Jesus, accepted in the Beloved; for this is the rest wherewith the Lord causeth the weary to rest, and this is the refreshing.
Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)
