How long, O you sons of men,
Will you turn my glory into shame?
How long will you love worthlessness and seek falsehood
Selah
But know that the LORD has set you apart
for Himself him who is godly;
The LORD will hear when I call to Him.
Psalm 4:2-3 (NKJV)
A Psalm of David.
David asks some very deep questions here. How can we answer them?
How long, O you sons of men,
David sounds a bit impatient with mankind. He seems to want to know a timeline for something to happen.
Will you turn my glory into shame?
David must have seen good things be viewed as far less than beneficial to those around him.
How long will you love worthlessness and seek falsehood?
People may have been doing things to waste time and resources and running after things that were not truth.
Selah
Reflect on this. Spend time thinking about these things.
But know that the LORD has set you apart for Himself him who is godly.
Realize that God had set apart for His use those who worship Him and obey His word.
God’s love for His children is real. We can see it every day. We must thank Him for that love every time we pray to Him.
Amen. God's love for us is very real, and He is ever patient and merciful, even when we don't deserve His mercy. I do thank Him for His love for us. We are blessed to be His children. Wonderful Psalm...and much to ponder. Thank you.
ReplyDeletePam: We are to bless God with our thanksgiving and prayers in return for all the ways He blesses us. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
DeleteAmen, Cecelia! We should continually thank God for all His blessings.
ReplyDeleteMartha: Yes, we should awaken each morning giving thanks for His watch care through the night and ask His blessings for that day. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
DeleteGod is so loving and patient with us. But one thing I've learned about Him: He is patient, to a point. There will come a time when it will be too late to repent, too late to call upon His name. I hope and pray the world wakes up and sees their need for a Savior!
ReplyDeleteCindy: You are so right. God is patient, to a point. We need to trust Him that we are right with Him when that time does come. Have you heard about the Revival that broke out last Wednesday at Asbury University in Kentucy? My next post is about that happening.
