Who Will Show Us Any Good?
By: Robert A. Searles
"But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly, for himself:
the Lord will hear when I call unto him. Stand in awe, and sin not;
commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still, Selah. Offer
the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord. There
be many that say, who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the
light of thy countenance upon us. Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. I will
both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me
dwell in safety." Psalm 4: 3-8.
Often we go about with a negative spirit, not expecting or believing
any good. We are fearful to go to the mailbox, we are fearful to answer
the telephone, we are fearful when a strange car drives up to the door.
We call ourselves the "born again" children of God, but we live and act
as if God did not exist, or if he did, that he does not care for us.
The truth is, just as we had nothing to do with our physical birth, so,
likewise ,we had nothing to do with our spiritual birth, so ,if we are
consciously aware of our spiritual birth, and recognize God as our
parent, then we need to realize the fact that God is going to look after
his children and provide for their needs. We are kept and set apart by
God to do and continue his work here on earth, we need to clear our mind
of all negative thoughts and fears, and fill our mind with the word of
God, and offer the sacrifice of righteousness, which is our entire mind,
body, and soul to the work and purposes of God. Then, - "I will lay me
down in peace and sleep: for thou Lord, only makest me dwell in
safety." Psalm 4:8
