Wednesday, July 12th: Psalms 4-6; Acts 17:16-34 ~ Emma

Today's passage from the Bible In a Year Reading Plan is Psalms 4-6; Acts 17:16-34

"But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself; the Lord hears when I call to him." - Psalms‬ ‭4‬:‭3‬

It says it right there: "the Lord hears when I call to him." Even when a thousand others are praying to God, He hears us. Even when we disobey Him countless times, He hears us. Even when we don't think we need Him because life is going pretty good, He hears us. God is always there, always listening, always answering, and always caring. 'Oh what a friend we have in Jesus'.

That's true, how many people or things around us have time for us whenever we want? Our own cell phones, which we are the only ones using, run out of power and can't be used for a few hours each day because they need charging time. What an awesome God, who is there for us anytime!

So awesome that He hears us!

Psalm 4:4a. Be angry and do not sin.
A good reminder that it's not our anger that is sinful (though depending on the situation it certainly can be) but our actions while angry.

Psalm 4:8 in peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
A good verse for when sleep is elusive, particularly due to worry or fear.
