I have been struggling to find a block of time for organized Bible study/quiet time. So today I went to pick up Maiesha early from preschool so I had 20 uninterrupted minutes in the pick up line to read. I kept the radio on so Lydia would stay asleep in her carseat. I started reading the Psalms and had to stop when I reached chapter 4. I read it a couple times and even wrote it down. It was exactly what I needed today.
1 Answer me when I call to you,
my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;
have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2 How long will you people turn my glory into shame?
How long will you love delusions and seek false gods[b]?[c]
3 Know that the LORD has set apart his faithful servant for himself;
the LORD hears when I call to him.
4 Tremble and[d] do not sin;
when you are on your beds,
search your hearts and be silent.
5 Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
and trust in the LORD.
6 Many, LORD, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?”
Let the light of your face shine on us.
7 Fill my heart with joy
when their grain and new wine abound.
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, LORD,
make me dwell in safety.
