The question in Psalm 4:2 grabs me.
“How long will you love what is worthless and pursue a lie?”
Sometimes I find myself “loving” worthless things, like silly addicting games or other things that suck my time away, time that could be invested in something worthwhile.
I love this word “pursue”. It’s full of focused action, being intentional, moving forward toward something! But how sad if that something is a lie. What if my pursuits lead to some delusion, a false hope, a dead end?
How long will you love what is worthless and pursue a lie?
No longer.
Search your heart and be silent (Psalm 4:4)
Okay...
Right now. Be silent... search your heart...
search me, O God, and know my heart...
Fill my heart with joy (Psalm 4:7). (Repeating a prayer over and over can be powerful)
Fill my heart with joy.
Fill my heart with JOY!
FILL MY HEART WITH JOY...
fill my heart...
fill me.
