Psalm 4:8 (NIV)
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you
alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
In a materialistic world which has tried to sever diplomatic
relations with God, we have nowhere to retreat except within ourselves. We are
like turtles in a traffic jam—the best we can do is to pull our heads into our
shells and shut our eyes. But that’s a good way to get the life crushed out of
us, as any dead turtle can attest.
Man’s conflict with man has been but an expression on the
human level of his conflict with God. Until man finds an armistice with God, he
cannot know peace with his fellowman. If we are to be peacemakers, we first
must make our peace with God.
Thought for today:
Is my relationships with others a reflection of my relationship with God?
