Psalm 4

How would you define peace? Maybe you believe peace is the absence of conflict or the removal of hindrances to your personal happiness. Maybe you think peace is when you don’t fight with your spouse. Peace is when my kids listen to me. Peace is when I am appreciated by my boss and co-workers. Peace is when I am happy with myself. Peace is when I am financially secure. Peace is when everyone doesn’t hate me any longer. The Psalms are the songbook, the prayer book for the Christian life. The Psalms are where we learn about God and how to experience Him in all of our lives. This psalm is a lament of David and I believe there is something for you to learn about grief, about pain, about peace if you’ll listen.
