Over the next week we will see all the 2021 lists.
Music, TV, Movies, News, etc.
This is the time that we reflect upon the last year and those reflections cause people to make resolutions.
I’m not a big fan of them but I am a fan of reflection and growth in the Lord.
So before you decide to eat healthy, go to the gym, read more, start a new hobby, let’s look at Psalm 4 and see how God calls us to see the world and how we are to live in it.
1. Christians have a different perspective.
(vs.
1-3)
Past truth in present circumstances
Identity based in Faith
“It's a theme born out of the Christian faith rather than a pagan understanding of the universe.
Both views agree that we human beings are small, frail, and limited in our ability to battle the forces of the world that seek to destroy us.
In response, the pagan worldview says, "We cannot win this on our strength.
Therefore, let us go down fighting nobly and die well."
The Christian worldview, on the other hand, says, "We cannot win this on our own strength.
Therefore, we must rely on a Power outside of ourselves to win this for us.”
― Sarah Arthur, Walking with Bilbo
GOSPEL
2. Christians have a different practice.
(vs.
4-7)
Words and Actions
Life is rooted in Jesus and not self-satisfaction
A businessman well known for his ruthlessness once announced to writer Mark Twain, “Before I die I mean to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
I will climb Mount Sinai and read the 10 Commandments aloud at the top.”
“I have a better idea,” replied Twain.
“You could stay in Boston and keep them.”
3. Christians have a different peace.
(vs.
8)
Jesus causes us to self-examine.
Jesus causes us to not lose sleep.
Jesus causes us to know our security.
