TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE
Memorize this Verse: (Cover the verse text and using just the first letters of each word try to recite the entire passage.)
8. I W B L M D I P A S F T L O M M D I S
“Dwell in safety”: The word “safety” introduces a play on words by going back to the term “trust” (in verse 5). David evidences a total confidence in God amidst his crisis.
One of the most popular memorized prayers of children begins, “Now I lay me down to sleep”. Many adults in our society lay down to sleep, but the cares of this world will not let them sleep. If a person has perfect peace, sleep should come easily. Fear seems to be a way of life today. So many bad crimes occur in the night. We cannot protect ourselves 24 hours a day. We cannot trust society, but we can trust God to watch over us and keep us safe.
Psalms 91:5 “Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for the arrow [that] flieth by day;”
When you lie down to sleep, pray that God will watch over you as a Shepherd watches over His sheep. You know we are His sheep. There is a peace that passes understanding. Pray that God will give you that peace that you might sleep.
Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Nothing we do keeps us dwelling in safety, only God makes us dwell safely.
Romans 15:33 “Now the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen.”
