Ps 4:3 “But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.”
In my last post, I showed what God expects of His people if they want His blessings. In this post, the blessings that He gives to those who are “godly” will be looked at.
- (vs. 3) We are “set apart.” God considers us His own – what a privilege! It does not depend on being handsome, pretty, smart, tall or short – but you must be redeemed by the blood of Christ.
- (vs. 3) “the LORD will hear when I call unto him” – He will answer our prayers (when they are for His glory).
- (vs. 6) God will show us good when no one else will. He never leaves nor forsakes us.
- (vs. 7) God makes His people be glad – “Thou hast put gladness in my heart” – with joy better than the world can know (“Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.”).
- (vs. 8) He gives us sleep and protects us as we sleep. (“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.”)
Christian, are you enjoying these benefits? You can. Do you know His gladness and are you able to sleep at night? God is more than willing to bless the godly because they are His. Is there some sin you need to forsake? If so, why not talk to Him about it now and let Him start to bless you more as you serve Him?
