Psalm 4 ~ put your trust in the Lord



Psalm 4


A Psalm of David.

Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have given me relief when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!

2 O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame?
How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? 
Selah
3 But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.

4 Be angry, and do not sin;
ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
5 Offer right sacrifices,
and put your trust in the Lord.

6 There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?
Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
7 You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.

8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.


Labels and extremes.
Words are sometimes turned inside out. Offering little in the way of a safe label. It's hard to find the safe, neutral middle ground. My father used to say, "Nothing is fair."

Words change meanings - therefore - I've noticed during this year, we don't dress outside our comfort level. During the Pandemic, people laughed and asked if you were wearing pants/trousers for Zoom. Footwear is only about comfort.

Comfort.
Will we argue the right of someone to take over federal buildings and then say Federal Action is unnecessary? Do we believe the building will be returned in good and fair shape? If we have riots for a month, do we anticipate the police are well rested and encouraged in their work? And why wouldn't we want the National Guard or Federal Employees we all see on Police TV shows - to give law and order support?

How will we avoid stereotypes and opinions to find Expectations of Goodness?
This in a year of Avalanche in Information, with massive data, information overload and a literal Avalanche of Changing Data and Opinion on a world basis? Our facts are changing because the data is so observed in a critical time - with changing information.





When we need a compass, when we have put 10 million opinions and facts from social media ideas, television, opinions and conversations?



1 John 4:19
"We love because he first loved us."

We believe with our hearts, confess with our mouths and give what God has put in us in our words, deeds and actions.





James 1:27
Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Deuteronomy 14:29
Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance among you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow within your gates may come and eat and be satisfied. And the LORD your God will bless you in all the work of your hands.

Psalm 34:14
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

Psalm 82:3
Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

Proverbs 31:9
Open your mouth, judge righteously, and defend the cause of the poor and needy.

Isaiah 56:1
This is what the LORD says: "Maintain justice and do what is right, for My salvation is coming soon, and My righteousness will be revealed.

Isaiah 58:6
Is not the fast I have chosen to break the chains of wickedness, to untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free, and tear off every yoke?

Jeremiah 21:12
O house of David, this is what the LORD says: 'Administer justice every morning, and rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor, or My wrath will go forth like fire and burn with none to extinguish it because of their evil deeds.

Jeremiah 22:3
This is what the LORD says: Administer justice and righteousness. Rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Do not shed innocent blood in this place.

Jeremiah 35:15
Time and time again I have sent you all My servants the prophets, proclaiming: 'Turn now, each of you, from your wicked ways, and correct your actions. Do not go after other gods to serve them. Live in the land that I have given to you and your fathers.' But you have not inclined your ear or listened to Me.

Ezekiel 18:31
Cast away from yourselves all the transgressions you have committed, and fashion for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should you die, O house of Israel?

Zephaniah 2:3
Seek the LORD, all you humble of the earth, who carry out His justice. Seek righteousness; seek humility. Perhaps you will be sheltered on the Day of the LORD's anger.











Abba, Father God,

In this season, we have been afraid. Give us Your Spirit of Power and not fear.

Help us to Seek You First. To see Glimpses and 
more of Heaven on earth.

To understand in this fearful season, we seek not to attract attention to us. Help us to have wisdom

to repress what is wrong and lift high what is Extremely Good. Bringing more Heaven to earth.

You have told us, You fight the Battle. Help us to help You.

We want to fill our lives and those we love with in this season with Prayer and Strength :

Jesus Christ, His Love, His Strength, His Joy, His Might. We want to live Your Victory. We want to have Assurance and be Encouraging. We want to see people You Love Thrive. 

We want to have Kindness and Mercy in our Lives. We want the Path to be Straight. We will live in Your Footprints and be an example.



And we will bring Your Words to our Heart:

Luke 5:13
Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing."

John 5:17
Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working."

Mark 9:27
Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.


To know the Scriptures is to know the Power of God.





Let Your Living Water be Your Word fulfilled in our heart, mind and soul.

You give Willing Blessings, we know and Believe.


Father, we pray daily and know our prayers are heard and answered.
Jesus Blessing our Nation to be in Your Word
Covered in God's Love,
President Donald Trump
Vice President Mike Pence
The Presidential Team
Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Robert Redfield, Dr. Deborah Birx
and their families.


Praying for our eldest son, to travel 

and pass his Bar Exam.

Saying a profound prayer for Peace.
For everyone.

You never Leave us. Thank You.
For Liberty and Justice for All.

In the Name of Jesus, Amen.









♔ Lord Jesus Saves!

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

The Scriptures are Father God's letter to you. He wanted you to know more, to know He loves you.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
