Sermon December 3, 2006
Psalm 4 Trouble Sleeping?
Sometimes, like David, we will have trouble getting to sleep at night.
1. Sometimes the problem is people [4.2]
a. What others have done to me
b. What I may have done to others
2. Sometimes the problem is sin [32.3-5]
3. Sometimes the problem is some circumstance we’re facing in life
David shares what he has learned:
A. REMEMBER THAT GOD IS ALWAYS ON YOUR SIDE [3]
1. Don’t allow your panic to keep you from remembering this most
basic truth:
God is FOR you and not against you
2. Romans 8.31: If God is for us, who can be against us?
B. REMEMBER THAT GOD IS ALWAYS GOOD [6-7]
1. Don’t be discouraged by what others are saying about life
2. Don’t try to find all of your happiness in things
3. Romans 8.28: God causes all things to work together for good…
4. Romans 8.32: …will He not also with Him [Christ] freely give
us all things?
C. REMEMBER THAT GOD IS ALWAYS WITH YOU [8]
1. Psalm 121: He who keeps you will neither slumber nor sleep.
2. Romans 8.38-39: I am convinced that NOTHING will be able to
separate ME
from the love of God which is in
Christ Jesus MY Lord.
