Biblical Reflections

Psalm 4 is an individual lament, a plea for help.   
 
David appeals to the righteousness of God. 
 
Again, David recollects a past experience, where God has rescued him, much like Psalm 3, which emboldens his faith to pray confidently in the present.   
 
David then has a word of rebuke for those faithless people who mock the godly man.   
 
Psalm 4 states with certainty that God hears the prayer of the godly person.   
 
It cautions the godly sufferer about anger.  They can be angry, but they should not let this anger lead them into sin.  The correct response is to increase their faith and to trust in God for vindication. 
 
Check yourself in prayer, be angry, but sin not, trust in the Lord.

What is Biblical Reflections?

Biblical Reflections is a Christ-centered Bible teaching podcast that journeys through Scripture with host Andrew — a storyteller at heart who happens to know his Greek.

Andrew came up in a working-class home, and it shows in the best way: he'll take you into the depth of the text, then explain it plainly and clearly, the way a good storyteller does. The result is teaching that's thought-provoking and genuinely engaging — his passion for God's Word comes through in every episode.

Each season takes on a new focus. Season 1 traced the gospel across Scripture — every place the good news of Jesus breaks through. The current season walks through the Psalms, one at a time, with Proverbs up next.

Wherever you're joining from — deep in study or just along for the journey — there's a place for you here. New episodes weekly.
