Ps. 4
4Be
angry and do not sin;
ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
5Offer right sacrifices,
and put your trust in the Lord.

6There
are many who say, “Who will show us some good?
Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
7You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.
Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
7You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.
8In
peace I will both lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Show us some good…let us see the
light of your face upon us…
You have put more joy in my heart…
On this day, when it is easy to see
what is absent…I lose sight of what is present. On this day when I see my age,
I do not see my health. When I feel the absence of my husband, I look past the
presence of my children. When I look past the good, so I can see the bad…I do
not see the light of His face upon me. I do believe that in the darkest places
there are moments of light we overlook…I know this because I do this all the
time.
I
am angry…I do ponder…I am silent.
Trust
in
Show
us your light
Face
upon us
Joy
and peace
Sleep
and safety
