Proclamation:
“Know
that The Lord has set apart His faithful servant for Himself; The Lord hears
when I call to Him. Tremble and do not
sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent.” Psalm 4:3-4 (NIV)
Explanation:
This
is a psalm of King David which was written under the influence of The Holy
Spirit of God. This psalm was designed
to be sung publicly by the people. David
told them to be assured that The Lord God had set him apart and that He hears
him when he calls Him. He told them the
stand in awe of God and to stop committing sins. He said when they lie on their beds at night,
they should meditate and reflect upon the actions of the day and examine their
own hearts.
Application:
As
believers we know that The Lord God has set us apart from the rest of the world
to be His faithful servants. As such, we
should hold Him in reverence. When we
come to our senses after we have been wronged, we should not let our anger take
control of our emotions and cause us to surrender to sin. At the end of each day, we should examine
ourselves, reflect upon our thoughts, words, and actions, and ask God to
forgive us for all of our sinful behavior.
