Psalms Chapter 4 Discussion Page 2

Why did Jesus tell His disciples to buy swords?

But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself...

personally it is a psalm that open your heart to submission to God . when he said answer me when I call to you , this is a point when you have tried all and nothing seem working in a solemly voice that came out ,. there is Another verse that many people asking who wil show us better times at a point when you have been written off that nothing good wil come out of psm 4 is a really powerfull pslm

"Thou hast put gladness in my heart." Knowing the origin of gladness is thrilling and rewarding.

EACH NIGHT I TRY TO READ OR RECITE THIS PSALM .IT HSVE BEEN S GREAT COMFORT TO ,TO ASK GOD TO HEAR ME IS JUST AWSOME, I LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL.

Another translation: Be agitated, but do not sin.Have your say in your heart, upon your bed, and keep silent

So, it is a reminder that there are times to be upset or agitated. These are not bad feelings in themselves. However, we need to exercise self control. We can be angry, but we are warned to not sin. Don't turn that anger into violence. Vs. 5 tells us to trust in God to make things right.

Inside my dark closet with the little light from the tablet, I strongly believe the invisible and ALL KNOWING GOD is with me and He hears my voice.

We can't have verse 8 without accomplishing the Scriptures before it.

In answer to Janice’s question. Who is the Chief Musician? I think it is David. He write the Psalms, and give them to the Temple musicians with instructions how to recite them.
God was always with David: teaching: instructing: leading: guiding:Getting him ready for His work. It was not by chance that David was present hearing Goliath’s defaming the God of
Israel. Chosen to replace Saul.

Judge not that u be judge for the judgements that u give out will come back to u again Amen .be careful of the seeds u sowed. Be not quarrelsome about The word of God. AMEN

Since the passing of my wife two years ago I really understand it better when you ask God to hear my voice

This is a Psalm I love I try my best to read it every night before I go to sleep. I know Almighty God hear me when I call. Psalm 4 also tell me to ask Almighty God to Hear me when I call and to have mercy up me, and hear my Prayer.

Janice: One who's in charge of Temple Services. There are about 52 Psalms Writing to The Chief Musician. ( Like song leaders today.

Can anyone tell me who the "Chief Musician" is?

Bill; you know what else seems really inconsistent, is how whenever I talk about walking in truth with a good conscience and without hypocrisy, somehow you think that that makes me the subject of the LORD's scorn as one seeking my own glory or wise in my own eyes. If these things are really so strange to you, maybe its because you've never heard this at your church? Not my fault!

Bill; Saved by grace, but only having or walking in a speck??? If the fruit is rotten, its because the tree is bad. If we are truly in Christ, truly walking in the Spirit abiding in Him and His Word in us; what? WE BRING FORTH M U C H FRUIT! Now all this fake humility which can't help but sneak an attack against someone that's done YOU no harm, is not grace or humility or piety, but hypocrisy!

disciple,

The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.Therefore let no man glory in men.1Cor3 20

"O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah." The Lord Jesus Christ is the glory of the Father and the express image of His person. In the same way are we the glory of Christ insomuch as we are found in His image and likeness in truth on the inward parts. This is why His enemies despise Him, and hold rather to hypocrisy.

Praise the Lord Jesus he has set apart him that is Godly for himself which mean her also he will hear us when we call on him this is owesome that mean he is listen to us when we call on him all we have to do is call on him if we are Godly which mean a true believer not just a person that goes to church u no no one can fool. GOD he knows the real u inside a nd out so when u come to God be Real.Amen

To be enlarged is to understand our purpose, and not dwell in vanity and leasing,which is empty of purpose and temporary.God is glorified in his people,as they are living/offering sacrifices in trusting him.Gladness in the heart is worth more than comforts of wealth.Our God and our bond to him is invisible to the world,we know he hears and our desire is to see his light/instruction for our lives.

Your statement: "We cannot have mercy if God is indebted to our deeds." Remarkably astute. That is an excellent statement regarding works and God's mercy. Both James and Ephesians speak on this matter, but Titus 3 ties both James and Ephesians together so perfectly.

Thank you for sharing to us of God's working in your life. Marshal Albritton

verse 1 Enlarge me when I am in distress, wow how powerful and blessed we are as christains. Also I love verse 8, I am comforted knowing if I die in my sleep God is always by my side, this is peace that passeth all understanding.

God has once more allowed my husband to come again safely from his dangerous Job. His word is true and I put my trust in no other. We have no idea how many times God has protected and let us lay down one more time in peace and sleep! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

Dwell in the safety of the LORD! What better way to live life!

We cannot have mercy if God is indebted to our deeds. To be set apart by the Lord is to be saved forever, never temporarily. Therein is found the gladness of our hearts. The "the sacrifices of righteousness" are for us to do what we can, when we can, in his name, to his glory, nothing to be prideful about, evermore in his service.

G.Cole: Would You Explain how This Verse Talks about lent?

Geraldine C., 1 Samuel 2:20 has nothing to do with the Catholic and Protestant practice of giving up certain foods or pleasurable acts for 40 days what you call Ash Wed.and Easter.You are taking the word "lent" in this verse out of it's context. Fasting and repentance is holy. I see some giving up bad habits temporarily, this is not repentance.

To Irene 123 /^1Sam ch2 v20 talks about lent.

The word of Jesus tells us the way the world will know we are childern of Jesus is by the way we love one another to day it seem as if most people harts are cold they only care about them self the word did say men hart will wax cold they will be lover of themself and we show are living in the last days Childern turning on their parents .Parents turning against their childern Jesus Got this

Thank U Jesus for watching over me allowing me to rest in peace a nd safty Amen
