Genesis 27-28; Psalm 4; Luke 11

Psalm 4:8

I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.


So often I rely on stuff or myself to make me feel safe and secure. I check the doors of my house each night to make sure they are locked before I go to bed. I look over my 401K statement every so often to see how my retirement savings are doing. I listen to the news to see how the economy is so I'll know if my job is secure. Yet none of that is what provides ultimate peace and safety. Yet you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. It's such a tough thing to reprogram into my mind and the way I live.
